Description: History of My Life, Paperback by Casanova, Giacomo; Trask, Willard R. (TRN), ISBN 0801856663, ISBN-13 9780801856662, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback.
Volumes 9 and 10 contain descriptions of Casanovas first visits to England, Prussia, Russia, and Poland. In all these countries he gained access to the Courts. Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia join the roster of potentates entertained and charmed by the adventurer. Though beginning to age, and ruing it, Casanova still manages to exert a powerful attraction on women.
Because every previous edition of Casanovas Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the authors political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trasks translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trasks award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.
