Casanova was a Venetian adventurer and author (1725-1798). His Memoirs provide an intimate insight into the life of European society in the eighteenth century. These Memoirs are the history of a unique life, personality, and record of adventures. They tell the story of a man who loved life passionately for its own sake: one to whom women were, indeed, the most important thing in the world, although there was nothing in the world to which he was indifferent.
