“Sexy, surprising, funny, insightful, and wildly entertaining” (Huffington Post)—the definitive biography of Giacomo Casanova, the impoverished boy who became the famous writer, notorious libertine, and self-invented genius in decadent eighteenth-century Europe. Today, “Casanova” is a synonym for “great lover,” yet the real story of this remarkable figure is little known. A figure straight out of a Henry Fielding novel, Giacomo Casanova was erotic, brilliant, impulsive, and desperate for recognition; a self-destructive genius. Over the course of his lifetime, he claimed to have seduced more than one hundred women, among them married women, young women in convents, girls just barely in their teens, women of high and low birth alike. Abandoned by his mother, an actress and courtesan, Casanova was raised by his illiterate grandmother, coming of age in a Venice filled with spies and political intrigue. He was intellectually curious and read forbidden books, for which he was jailed. He staged a dramatic escape from Venice’s notorious prison, I Piombi, the only person known to have done so. He then fled to France, ingratiated himself at the royal court, and invented the national lottery that still exists to this day. He crisscrossed Europe, landing for a while in St. Petersburg, where he was admitted to the court of Catherine the Great. He corresponded with Voltaire and met Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte—assisting them as they composed the timeless opera Don Giovanni. And he wrote what many consider the greatest memoir of the era, the twelve-volume Story of My Life. Laurence Bergreen’s Casanova recounts this astonishing life in rich, intimate detail, and at the same time, paints a dazzling portrait of eighteenth-century Europe, filled with a cast characters from serving girls to kings and courtiers, “great fun for any history lover” (Kirkus Reviews).

Chi era Giacomo Casanova? Un avventuriero intraprendente, un letterato generoso, un diplomatico accorto, un baro temibile, un viaggiatore instancabile e –ça va sans dire– un grande amante delle donne. A quasi 300 anni dalla nascita, la storia di una vita straordinaria in un libro che è insieme la biografia di uno dei veneziani più noti al mondo e un affresco originale dell'Europa del Settecento. Dalla penna vivacissima di un attento conoscitore della storia veneziana, la biografia di un figlio illustre della Serenissima, Giacomo Casanova. Protagonista indiscusso del Settecento europeo, nei 73 anni della sua vita visita per 213 volte un centinaio di città e cittadine, da Madrid a Pietroburgo, da Londra a Costantinopoli; incontra ben dodici sovrani regnanti e cita nel suo libroHistoire de ma vieduemila persone, tra le quali duecento tra attori, attrici e musicisti. Finisce nelle celle di cinque diverse carceri ed evade rocambolescamente da una, quella dei piombi a Venezia. Gioca d'azzardo (spesso barando) e ama il buon cibo: nelle sue pagine nomina 22 giochi e 120 diversi piatti. Nel libro si racconta di teatro, di spionaggio, di massoneria e di magia. Si ricostruiscono gli incontri con i personaggi più famosi dell'epoca: da Voltaire a Lorenzo Da Ponte, il librettista di Mozart. E si parla anche di donne, naturalmente.

The Memoirs of Casanova Giacomo Casanova - With 'The Memoirs of Casanova,' William Pocock offers us a newly abridged translation of Giacomo Casanova's notorious 'Story of My Life.' Casanova dashed through an extremely controversial life in pursuit of love and fortune that is well worth reading. In his final years he wrote down his memoirs to make confession, reflect on his many adventures, and describe the vast array of people he met in brilliant detail. Perhaps too much detail, as his 1.25 million words, though very entertaining, are a bit more than most busy readers are willing to endure. This edition seamlessly distills his story from 3,875 into 1,188 pages, encompassing his entire life. Casanova's deep interest in romantic poetry, Greco-Roman myth, and Enlightenment ideals inspired his driving passions, with countless lovers and broken promises left behind. Casanova's great love affairs, the diverse variety of his seductions, are maintained here to offer the reader a representation of the whole. His memoirs are most engaging in his pursuit of romance, intense intrigues, and impassioned letters, fully explored in this essential version. The Chevalier de Seingalt was much more than the libertine playboy of popular imagination, as the following pages will reveal. If his memoirs are now considered a great masterpiece of French literature, it's largely due to its historical significance. Casanova's extensive travels and a lifetime of journalism enabled him to offer insightful portraits of the various humble and notable inhabitants of 18th century Europe. Through the magic of his words that distant world springs to life for us now and forever. In recent years, his memoirs have risen from the depths of moral outrage to the most exalted dignity within his beloved France. In 2011 his original manuscript, designated a 'national treasure' by the French government, was acquired by the National Library for $9.6 million, the institution's most expensive acquisition to date.
