Casanova's Memoirs

by Joseph Monet (Editor), Vincente Minnelli (Illustrator)

Overview

This edition of Cassanova's "Memoirs," has lavish erotic decorations and superb art-nouveau-style llustrations by Vincente Minnelli.

Casanova has become a classic and an immortal; a classic in the literature of adventure and an immortal in the annals of erotica.

Casanova's fame was created by a host of discriminating and intelligent readers and is merely increased by all who read him surreptitiously, the hypocrites, the envious impotents, the degenerates, the secret voluptuaries of the reform societies for the suppression of sex complexes.
