<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Memoirs of Casanova</i> (1792) is the autobiography of Italian adventure and socialite Giacomo Casanova. Written at the end of his life, the <i>Memoirs</i> capture the experiences of one of Europe's most notorious figures, a man whose escapades as a gambler, womanizer, and socialite are matched only by his unique gift for sharing them with the world. More than perhaps any other man, Casanova sought to emulate the lessons of the Enlightenment on the level of everyday life, a sentiment captured perfectly in the opening sentence of his <i>Memoirs</i>: "I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent."<i>Memoirs of Casanova Volume II</i> covers the young adulthood of Giacomo Casanova. Having excelled in his study of law at the University of Padua, Casanova embarks on an ill-fated career as a cleric. Drawn further toward the life of a dandy than that of a man of God, he moves within some of Venice's highest social circles while womanizing and developing an addiction to gambling. After being forced to leave the seminary due to a debt-related imprisonment, Casanova manages to gain employment with a powerful Bishop in Rome. But his taste for freedom and fast-living proves much too strong, and soon ends his religious career for good. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Giacomo Casanova's <i>Memoirs of Casanova</i> is a classic of European literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Still a young man, though one already familiar with the excesses of life, Casanova attempts to enter the seminary to devote himself to God.
