Description

In volumes 1 and 2, Casanova tells the story of his family, his first loves, and his early travels.

With the death of his grandmother, he is sent to a seminary-but is soon expelled.

He is briefly imprisoned in the fortress of Sant' Andrea.

After wandering from Naples to Rome in search of a patron, he enters the service of Cardinal Acquaviva.

Trask's translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971.

Trask's award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.
