Om denne boken

"The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Volume 21: South of…" is part of Giacomo Casanova's unfinished memoir written in French during the late 18th century. The Venetian adventurer chronicles his extraordinary life through 1774 in this sprawling 3,500-page autobiography. For over a century, readers knew only censored versions translated through German, losing Casanova's original voice. The manuscript passed through family hands, survived wars and bombings, and remained locked away until 1960 when the unexpurgated text finally emerged, revealing the true story behind the legend.
