"Seducer, gambler, necromancer, swindler, Good Samaritan, spy, swashbuckler, self-made gentleman, entrepreneur, wit, poet, translator, philosopher, and general bon vivant, Giacomo Casanova was not only the most notorious lover the Western world has known, but also a storyteller of the first order. Since he lived a life richer and stranger than most fictions, the tale of his own adventures is his most compelling story, but his memoir remained-at twelve volumes-unfinished at the time of his death. In these selections culled from authoritative French texts are all the highlights of Casanova's life: his youth in Venice as a precocious ecclesiastic; carousing and dabbling in the occult; imprisonment and thrilling escape; travels and encounters with major literary figures and world leaders; and, of course, many amorous conquests, ranging from noblewomen to nuns to cobblers' daughters, all of them willing partners in the adventures of his life." -- Book cover.

"S svojo lucidno ironijo je za dvesto let prehitel svoj čas. Hkrati pa je bil s svojim hedonizmom in po večini bolj mlačnimi poskusi, da bi podedovani korpus etičnih vrednot nadomestil z novim, značilen predstavnik evropske inteligence 18. stoletja, ki se je pravkar iztrgala baročno prenapetim verskim vplivom in s polnimi pljuči zajela hladni zrak razsvetljenstva. To je obdobje, ko papež razpusti jezuitski red in se vojne nič več ne bijejo zaradi katolištva in protestantstva, temveč zaradi tako otipljivih stvari, kot sta zemljiška posest in mednarodna trgovina."@sl
