Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt, a Venetian, authored book. People regard Histoire de ma vie ( Story of My Life ), his main book, part autobiography, as one most authentic source of the customs and norms of social life during the 18th century.

He, sometimes called the greatest lust of the world, so famously womanized with his synonymous name with the art of seduction.

Reviews

Absolutely fascinating

[Agona Apell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Before I read this book, my impression of Giacomo Casanova derived from popular portraits of him was that of a shameless seducer--or, well, a casanova. But right from the opening chapter, a new more charming side to him was revealed to me: a great wit, a poet, a philosopher, an excellent writer, a historian of sorts, and an outstanding conversationalist. Perhaps I should have guessed that he would turn out to be a man of these exalted qualities, for how else could he have charmed his way into the hearts of countless women of great beauty and rank? The book carries the reader on a bump-less ride through Casanova's childhood, youth, and adulthood and all the beautiful cities where fortune took him. Pick a copy, you will enjoy it!

Entertaining story of interesting life. Some parts are hard to read and even boring. May be its just because other are so awesome.
