Histoire de ma vie. Tome Deux
Édition intégrale
Giacomo Casanova fut un aventurier et auteur vénitien dont l'œuvre principale est considérée comme une source authentique pour comprendre les coutumes et les normes de la vie sociale européenne du XVIIIe siècle. Son nom est devenu synonyme de l'art de la séduction, évoquant à jamais sa réputation de "plus grand séducteur du monde". Bien qu'il ait fréquenté la royauté européenne et des personnalités notables de son époque, l'œuvre de sa vie aurait pu être oubliée sans sa période de service auprès du comte Waldstein en Bohême, où il trompait son ennui en narrant l'histoire de sa vie.
