Zusatztext

"Few readers of Laurence Bergreen's new biography, Casanova: The World of a Seductive Genius, will emerge from it wholly disapproving of this remarkable man. . . . His saving graces included limitless curiosity, resilience and joie de vivre, as he bounced shamelessly from one misadventure to the next."
