About the book: 2009 / The great Venetian adventurer and seducer Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) is one of the most interesting people of his era. Love was a vital need for him. But on the pages of “The Story of My Life,” Casanova appears not only as an ardent lover, overcoming any obstacles on the way to his goal, but also as a subtle and intelligent observer, with amazing accuracy, drawing portraits of great people, as well as the life and customs of his time. That is why his memoirs were wildly popular.
