Historical | Non-Fiction Memoir

"Trask's exemplary translation... makes the real Casanova accessible in English... as strange, as diverse, as compelling as fiction." -- John Simon, Book Week

In volumes 7 and 8, Casanova is now close to forty. His various manipulations of the credulous rich have made him rich in turn. His travels take him to France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. In Rome he charms the Pope; in Naples, he nearly marries a young woman as licentious as he is himself, but she turns out to be his daughter.
