The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Complete
Giacomo Casanova wrote his memoirs in French in old age, as librarian to a Bohemian count, and they were not printed until after his death. Arthur Machen's English translation, complete here in its many volumes, follows him from a Venetian childhood through seminary, the army, the violin, gambling, and a career as adventurer across every court and capital in Europe. The famous escape from the Leads prison in Venice is only one episode among meetings with Voltaire, Frederick the Great, and Catherine II, lotteries, duels, swindles, and the love affairs for which the name has become a byword. Casanova is frank about his failures as well as his conquests, and his picture of eighteenth-century life is unmatched in detail. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
