Description

In this unexpurgated volume, the legendary libertine recounts his restless wanderings across Europe, from bustling London streets to the frosty avenues of Moscow. His keen eye captures the glitter of high society and the hidden corridors where love and ambition collide. The narrative balances scandalous exploits with sharp social commentary, inviting listeners into a world of salons, gambling houses, and clandestine meetings.

Interwoven with vivid portraits of friends, lovers, and rivals, the memoir offers a frank glimpse of 18th‑century intrigue—whether at a Venetian banquet, a Parisian boudoir, or a Russian noble’s drawing‑room. Casanova’s voice remains wry and self‑aware, often acknowledging his own vanity while exposing the pretensions of those around him. This episode promises the same blend of adventure and introspection that makes his chronicles a timeless window onto a bygone era.

About the author

Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova

1725–1798

Best known for the vivid memoir that made his name a legend, this Venetian traveler turned a life of constant reinvention into one of the most entertaining self-portraits of the 18th century. Priest, gambler, diplomat, prisoner, and writer, he moved through Europe with a gift for storytelling that still feels startlingly alive.
