9780801856655 / History of My Life, Vols. 7 & 8 Paperback – Abridged, May 22, 1997
by Johns Hopkins University Press; First Edition (May 22, 1997) (Author)Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback.
In volumes 7 and 8, Casanova is now close to forty. His various manipulations of the credulous rich have made him rich in turn. His travels take him to France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. In Rome he charms the Pope; in Naples, he nearly marries a young woman as licentious as he is himself, but she turns out to be his daughter.
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.
