The story of my life
"In these selections from the autobiography that Casanova titled The Story of My Life, the first such compendium in English since the French text was established in 1959, we encounter all the essential elements of his eventful days on earth: his youth in Venice as adolescent ecclesiastic; his carousing and dabbling in the occult; his imprisonment and thrilling escape; his far-ranging travels and encounters with such literary figures as Crebillon and Voltaire and world leaders such as Catherine the Great and Frederick of Prussia. And all of it spiced, of course, with countless amorous conquests, with mistresses always different, from noblewomen to nuns to cobblers' daughters, always fully-fleshed and three-dimensional, willing partners in the adventure of his life."--Jacket
