Autorenporträt
Jacques Casanova de Seingalt (1725-1798) was an Italian adventurer, writer, and libertine who is best known for his highly entertaining and scandalous memoirs. Born in Venice, Casanova was the son of an actor and actress and received a Jesuit education before embarking on a life of adventure and excess. Throughout his life, Casanova traveled extensively throughout Europe, engaging in a wide range of occupations, including musician, gambler, and spy. Casanova was a polymath who had a deep interest in science, mathematics, and philosophy. He was also a member of several secret societies, including the Freemasons, and his writings provide a unique insight into the inner workings of these organizations. Casanova's memoirs were not published until after his death, and they quickly gained a reputation for their frank depictions of sex and scandalous behavior. Today, the memoirs are considered a classic of literature and provide a valuable historical and cultural snapshot of life in 18th-century Europe.
