Sinopsis

In volumes 1 and 2, Casanova tells the story of his family, his first loves, and his early travels. With the death of his grandmother, he is sent to a seminary--but is soon expelled. He is briefly imprisoned in the fortress of Sant', Andrea. After wandering from Naples to Rome in search of a patron, he enters the service of Cardinal Acquaviva.About this edition: Because every previous edition of Casanova',s Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the author',s political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trask',s translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trask',s award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.
