Historical | Non-Fiction Memoir

"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.
