Description

Adventures of Casanova

Soldier, confidence trickster, libertine and fugitive, Giacomo Casanova tore a swathe across the courts and capitals of 18th-century Europe in an insatiable quest for fame and fortune. In the popular imagination, he is a quintessential seducer. As editor and introducer Frances Wilson points out, at heart he ‘saw life as a comic performance in which he played the lead role’. Armed with only a Bible, a rope of knotted blankets and a dish of macaroni, he escaped the clutches of the venitian inquisition – the only man to do so. Wilson paints a vivid and compelling portrait of a man who lived for pleasure alone.
