"Now at last we can enjoy the wonderful History of My
Life... as if we were reading an entirely new book...
Few more extraordinary men have ever lived; an no memoirist
gives us a more vivid impression of the social background of
his period." -- Peter Quennell The last two volumes of
Casanova's account of his extraordinary life include the
story of his imprisonment in Buen Retiro, his trip to Madrid
and his affair with Doña Ignacia, his journey to Barcelona
and his detention in the Tower, his encounter with Lord
Baltimore, and his serious illness in Aix-en-Provence when
he is taken care of by a mysterious woman who turns out to
the servant of one of his first loves, Henriette.
