Giacomo Casanova's reputation rests essentially on his obsession with women, but he was much more than the great eighteenth-century lover. Lawyer or attorney, mathematician, poet, translator, and librarian who was simply fluent in several languages, he was detailed by one modern as "the most civilized man in European countries." That he was also a con man, cabalist, spy, revenge-taker, and experienced prisoner only improves his appeal as you who personified the extreme communal and moral contradictions of the time. In chronicling the life of this bastard kid of Venetian stars, Masters attracts from Casanova's own highly expansive memoirs, unavailable until the 1960s, and implies that some of the most racy and unlikely happenings in his adventure-filled life story have been corroborated by fact.
