This monumental autobiography in the genre of historical memoirs presents the complete twelve-volume account of Giacomo Casanova’s extraordinary life across eighteenth-century Europe. Casanova chronicles his youth in Padua and Venice, his escapades in Naples and Corfu, and his intellectual pursuits in Milan. He recounts his romantic entanglements, political intrigues, and philosophical reflections as he moves through Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Moscow. The narrative illustrates his encounters with royalty, clergy, and luminaries of the Enlightenment, while detailing his imprisonment, daring escape, and eventual pardon by the Venetian Republic. Translated with precision by Willard R. Trask, the work captures Casanova’s wit, candor, and psychological insight.
