Set against the glittering, labyrinthine canals of 18th-century Venice, this volume chronicles the young Casanova's earliest escapades — his education, his first loves, his brushes with the law, and his dazzling social ascent through the salons and courts of the Serenissima. It is a world of powdered wigs, secret assignations, and aristocratic intrigue, rendered with the unguarded frankness of a man who feared neither God nor reputation.\n\nThis is one volume in a handsome multi-volume set — also including Paris and Prison, The Eternal Quest, In London and Moscow, and Spanish Passions — that together constitute one of Western literature's most remarkable firsthand accounts of Enlightenment-era Europe. Casanova writes with a sharp wit and an almost journalistic eye for social detail, capturing not merely his own conquests but the manners, politics, and philosophical currents of an entire age. Published by Elek\/Putnam in a beautifully illustrated edition, this set is as much a collector's treasure as a literary one — and once opened, it is nearly impossible to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269333852379,"sku":"2026100009157-SECONDHAND","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2c330cae-9c80-4b5c-9215-0aedc79d82b2.png?v=1788998251","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009157-secondhand-the-memoirs-of-casanova-five-volume-set","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
