Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback. In volumes 5 and 6, Casanova brings his flight from the Inquisitor's prison in Venice to a happy conclusion. Exiled from Venice, he goes to Munich and Paris, where he establishes himself as a cabalist, makes a fortune in Holland, helps start the French State Lottery, goes on to Switzerland where he meets Voltaire. Because every previous edition of Casanova's Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the author's political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. 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.

"The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt" is a complete collection of autobiographical work by the famous Italian adventurer and libertine Jacques Casanova de Seingalt. The fourth volume of the series covers the years 1757-1760 and recounts Casanova's various escapades and encounters during this period. In this volume, Casanova finds himself in various European cities, including Dresden, Berlin, and Paris, where he engages in romantic and sexual exploits with numerous women, including actresses, courtesans, and aristocrats. He also rubs shoulders with prominent figures of the time, such as Voltaire and Frederick the Great. Casanova's travels take him from one adventure to the next, including an ill-fated attempt to establish himself as a theater impresario and a daring escape from a Venetian prison. Throughout the book, Casanova's wit, charm, and cunning are on full display as he navigates the social and political landscapes of the era.

The Memoirs of Casanova, though they have enjoyed the popularity of a bad reputation, have never had justice done to them by serious students of literature, of life, and of history. One English writer, indeed, Mr. Havelock Ellis, has realised that 'there are few more delightful books in the world,' and he has analysed them in an essay on Casanova, published in Affirmations, with extreme care and remarkable subtlety. But this essay stands alone, at all events in English, as an attempt to take Casanova seriously, to show him in his relation to his time, and in his relation to human problems. And yet these Memoirs are perhaps the most valuable document which we possess on the society of the eighteenth century; they are the history of a unique life, a unique personality, one of the greatest of autobiographies; as a record of adventures, they are more entertaining than Gil Blas, or Monte Cristo, or any of the imaginary travels, and escapes, and masquerades in life, which have been written in imitation of them. They tell the story of a man who loved life passionately for its own sake: ...
