    [synopsis] => Memoirs of Casanova (1792) is the autobiography of Italian adventure and socialite Giacomo Casanova. Written at the end of his life, the Memoirs capture the experiences of one of Europe's most notorious figures, a man whose escapades as a gambler, womanizer, and socialite are matched only by his unique gift for sharing them with the world. More than perhaps any other man, Casanova sought to emulate the lessons of the Enlightenment on the level of everyday life, a sentiment captured perfectly in the opening sentence of his Memoirs: "I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely, I am a free agent."Memoirs of Casanova Volume XI finds Giacomo Casanova on the run from Venetian authorities. Having been handed a five-year prison sentence, Casanova is left with no choice but to risk a daring, dangerous escape. He manages to make his way by foot and by gondola out of the city before embarking on a journey to Paris. Arriving in 1757, he reconnects with powerful friends, affording him much needed protection. There, he witnesses the brutal execution of Robert-François Damiens, the attempted assassin of Louis XV, and the last man to be drawn and quartered in France. Desperate for money, he accepts a job from the French Foreign Minister to collect information from the commune of Dunkirk. Having proved himself as a valuable spy, Casanova reinvents himself once more. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Giacomo Casanova's Memoirs of Casanova is a classic of European literature reimagined for modern readers.
