Description
Giacomo Casanova’s reputation rests largely on his obsession with sex. But he was much more than the great eighteenth century lover. Lawyer, mathematician, poet, translator, and librarian, he was described by one contemporary as “the most civilized man in Europe.” That he was also a con man, cabalist, spy, revenge taker, and experienced prisoner only enhances his appeal as one who personified the extreme social and moral contradictions of the time.
