Un uomo nato a Venezia da poveri parenti, senza beni di fortuna e senza nessuno di que' titoli che nelle città distinguono le famiglie dalle ordinarie del popolo, ma educato, come piacque a Dio, nella guisa di quelli che sono destinati a tutt'altro fuorché a mestieri coltivati dal volgo, ebbe la disgrazia, nell'età di ventisett'anni, di incorrere nell'indignazione del governo; e, nell'età di vent'otto, ebbe la fortuna di fuggire dalle sacre mani di quella giustizia, della quale non soffriva di buona voglia il castigo.

Gleich acht berühmte Autoren sorgen in diesem attraktiven Set für einen wundervollen Liebesreigen. Diese Sammlung erkundet alle Facetten des Herzens: so gibt es handfeste Intrigen (Schiller), komplizierte Dreiecksgeschichten (Keyserling), gekonnte Verführungen (Casanova) – und die pralle Liebeslust von Balzac bis Boccaccio. Liebe – man hört es hier - kann eben alles.

Venetsialainen maailmanmies Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (1725-1798) oli näyttelijäpariskunnan vähälahjaiseksi luultu lapsi, joka murtautui muotistaan ja hankki äitinsä varakkaiden mesenaattien suojeluksessa hyvän koulusivistyksen Padovan yliopistossa. Monien mutkien kautta hänestä kasvoi kosmopoliitti, joka ehti elämänsä aikana matkustella joka puolella valistuksen ja rokokoon aikakauden Eurooppaa, hankkiutua ylhäisimpiin seurapiireihin, tavata aikansa merkkihenkilöitä paavi Benedictus XIV:stä Voltaireen ja hankkia elantonsa mitä moninaisimmin keinoin. Casanova oli vakaumuksellinen elämästä nautiskelija, joka ansaitsi älynsä ja esiintymistaitonsa turvin omaisuuksia vain tuhlatakseen ne uhkapeleihin ja ylellisyyksiin.Casanovan muistelmat ovat vuosisatansa kiehtovimpiin kuuluva aikalaiskuvaus ja mukaansatempaava seikkailukertomus, jonka huimat käänteet myöhempi tutkimus on osoittanut pitkälti totuudenmukaisiksi. Muistelmiensa vuosiin 1756-1760 keskittyvissä 5. ja 6. osassa Venetsiasta maanpakoon joutunut Casanova matkustaa laajalti Länsi-Euroopassa niittäen menestystä ja ohimenevästi mammonaakin muun muassa Pariisin lottoarvontojen perustajana, Ranskan valtion salaisena agenttina, finanssimiehenä, tekstiilitehtailijana sekä salatieteisiin uppoutuneiden mesenaattiensa keskuudessa alkemistina ja kabbalistina. Hän joutuu kahnauksiin lain kanssa, kokee onnea ja pettymyksiä rakkaudessa ja kohtaa matkallaan aikansa merkittäviä poliitikkoja, diplomaatteja, ruhtinaita, tiedemiehiä ja filosofeja.

Muistelmiensa vuosiin 1749-1756 keskittyvissä 3. ja 4. osassa Casanova kohtaa "Henrietten", yhden elämänsä suurista rakkauksista, matkustaa ensimmäistä kertaa laajemmin Euroopassa, hioo taitojaan salatieteistä kiinnostuneista mesenaateista hyötymisessä, opiskelee ranskaa Pariisissa ja pääsee seuraamaan hovielämää lähietäisyydeltä. Matkan varrella hän kohtaa tunnettuja seikkailijoita, ylhäistä aatelia, diplomaatteja, kuuluisia kirjailijoita ja tiedemiehiä. Kotikaupunkiinsa palattuaan hän kokee vaihtelevaa onnea niin pelipöydissä kuin lemmenkin saralla päätyen lopulta kirkkoa loukanneiden elämäntapojensa ja salatiedeharrastuksensa vuoksi valtiovallan hampaisiin synkin seuraamuksin.Teoksen on suomentanut ja selityksin varustanut Seppo Sipilä.

Memoirs of Casanova (1792) is the autobiography of Italian adventure and socialite Giacomo Casanova. Written at the end of his life, the Memoirs capture the experiences of one of Europe¿s most notorious figures, a man whose escapades as a gambler, womanizer, and socialite are matched only by his unique gift for sharing them with the world. More than perhaps any other man, Casanova sought to emulate the lessons of the Enlightenment on the level of everyday life, a sentiment captured perfectly in the opening sentence of his Memoirs: ¿I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent.¿Memoirs of Casanova Volume VII follows Giacomo Casanova from Paris¿where he spent two years learning the French language and enraging local authorities¿to Vienna, a city unsuited to his libertine lifestyle. After a year, he grows tired of Austrian stuffiness and returns to Venice, his birth city. There, he gains and loses fortunes overnight, living the torturous lows and intoxicating highs of life as a professional gambler. Somehow, in a city where supposedly everyone knows his name, Casanova accumulates even more enemies, drawing the attention of state spies and risking not just disgrace, but a lengthy imprisonment. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Giacomo Casanoväs Memoirs of Casanova is a classic of European literature reimagined for modern readers.
