The name of Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) is known to every adult. It became proverbial - a generic name of an adventurous womanizer. A remorseless sinner, but also a doctor of law. A convicted magician who escaped from the highest security prison - but also a brilliant conversationalist whose company was shared by Frederick the Great and Voltaire. A shameless, immoral, intelligent and well-educated personality. Our reader can now hear about Casanova from his own account.
