About the book

"The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Complete" by Giacomo Casanova is an unfinished memoir written between 1789 and 1798. This sprawling autobiography chronicles the life of a famous Venetian adventurer through 1774, spanning twelve volumes and over a million words. Written in French rather than his native Italian, Casanova's account captures the world of an 18th-century bon vivant. The manuscript's tumultuous journey—through family hands, censored translations, and wartime survival—mirrors the adventurous spirit of its author, remaining unpublished in its original form until 1960.
