From this book, the Reader learns about the childhood and youth of the famous lover. About his adventures in European cities. About the secrets of his sexual power and strategy for winning women's hearts. About the adventures of an adventurer in the vastness of Russia, his meetings with Empress Catherine the Great. About how an “enlightened European” became a serf owner in Russia and used this in his sexual adventures. Giacomo Casanova said about himself this way: “I am a libertine by profession.” The famous seducer and adventurer left behind 12 volumes of memoirs, calling them “The Story of My Life.” This is the most expensive manuscript in the world, purchased in 2010 by the French government for seven million euros. Casanova also talks there about his stay in Russia. And finally, about the bitter, lonely old age of a rogue who possessed 132 women of the High Society of Europe, the father of eight illegitimate children. Also, in the Appendix, the Reader will be able to familiarize himself with a reprint of the original edition of Henry Charles’s article in the “Historical Bulletin” of 1885, published by A.S. Suvorin, created on the basis of a high-resolution electronic copy, which was cleaned and processed manually, preserving the structure and spelling of the original edition. Rare, forgotten and little-known books published from the time of Peter the Great to the present day are again available to a wide range of readers.
