The iconic libertine Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) was a storied adventurer through the Enlightenment's shadowy underside. Known as a serial seducer, he was also an aspiring priest, army officer, con man, diplomat, gambler, and spy. Drawing on seldom used materials, Leo Damrosch brings alive Casanova and the eighteenth-century world he inhabited.
