About this listen

 Step into the captivating world of Giacomo Casanova, the legendary Venetian adventurer, writer, and notorious lover. Born in 1725 in Venice and passing away in 1798 in Dux, Bohemia (now Duchcov, Czech Republic), Casanovas life was anything but ordinary. With a mix of charm, cunning, and, at times, aggression, he navigated the complexities of romance and society, often leaving a trail of lovers and debts in his wake. In his renowned autobiography, *Histoire de ma vie* (Story of My Life), he provides a vivid account of his escapades, detailing his encounters with 122 women and offering a rare glimpse into the social customs of 18th-century Europe. Unlike the mythical Don Juan, Casanova was a real person, making his story all the more intriguing. Join us for the first of five volumes that unveil the true essence of this historical figure.Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Art Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences World
