The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, in Six Volumes: The First Complete and Unabridged English Translation

Complete in six hardcover volumes. Translated by Arthur Machen. The memoirs of the infamous Venetian lover whose name has become synonymous with womanizing. Valuable as a social document in much the same way as Boswell's Life of Johnson and the Diary of Samuel Pepys. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt (April 2, 1725 – June 4, 1798) was a Venetian adventurer and author. His main book Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life), part autobiography and part memoir, is regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century. He was so famous as a womanizer that his name remains synonymous with the art of seduction. He associated with European royalty, popes and cardinals, along with luminaries such as Voltaire, Goethe and Mozart. He spent his last years in Bohemia as a librarian in Count Waldstein's household, where he also wrote the story of his life."
