Adventurer. The Life And Times Of Giacomo Casanova

A fast-paced narrative about the world-famous libertine Giacomo Casanova, from celebrated biographer Leo Damrosch

“Fully succeeds in communicating that ‘vivid presentness, ‘ that ‘joyful eagerness’ for life, which is what keeps us reading Casanova–and reading about him.”–Gregory Dowling, Wall Street Journal

“A nuanced, deftly contextualized biography of an adventurer, an opportunist, and a man of voracious appetites . . . another top-notch work from Damrosch.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
