The memoirs Of Jacques Casanova De Seingalt [ By: Giacomo Casanova ]

by Giacomo Casanova

Overview

Illustrated with Italian 18th century engravings. This is the first complete and unabridged English translation of the memoirs. Volume six contains a bibliography of some of the various editions of the memoirs as well as a short list of commentaries, essays and criticisms. Volume six also contains the supplement outlining Casanova's career from 1771 (where his memoirs ended) up to his death in 1798. The volume titles are as follows (in sequence): Venetian Years; Paris and Prison; The Eternal Quest; Adventures in the South; In London and Moscow; and Spanish Passions. My best guess as to a publication date is late 1940s to early 1950s. Page numbers on the volumes are as follows (given in sequence): 729; 714; 650; 656; 637; 717 pages.

About the Author

Venetian adventurer and author. His main book Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life), part autobiography and part memoir, is regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century. He was so famous as a womanizer that his name remains synonymous with the art of seduction and he is sometimes called "the world's greatest lover". He associated with European royalty, popes and cardinals, along with men such as Voltaire, Goethe and Mozart.
