Casanova

Giacomo Casanova was an ecclesiastic, writer, soldier, spy, and diplomat, but above all remains, after two hundred years, the archetypal elegant libertine. Expelled from the church for improper behavior, his amorous adventures and luxurious lifestyle made him into a universal symbol for decadence. This is the first popular account of the man for some years with all the ingredients of good popular biography -- sex, scandal, imprisonment, drama, and love.
