Carlo Goldoni

Memoirs of Carlo Goldoni is an autobiographical work by the renowned Italian playwright, Carlo Goldoni. Originally published in 1787, this book recounts the life and career of Goldoni, from his childhood in Venice to his eventual success as a playwright in Italy and France. Goldoni's memoirs provide a fascinating insight into the theatrical world of the 18th century, as well as the social and cultural context in which he lived and worked. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different period in Goldoni's life. Part one focuses on his childhood and early years as a writer, while part two covers his time in Paris and his collaborations with French playwrights. Part three is devoted to his later years, including his return to Venice and his efforts to revive the Italian theatre. Throughout the book, Goldoni provides vivid descriptions of the people and places he encountered, as well as his own thoughts and feelings about his experiences. Memoirs of Carlo Goldoni is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of theatre or 18th-century Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
