Summary
Was Giacomo Casanova one of the most prolific lovers in history? Casanova’s description of himself suggests a hero, a lover, a charmer, an intellectual genius, and a man of intense creativity who was able to turn every adversity into a triumph. Yet equally one modern perspective views as an amoral misogynist, a rapist, and sexual predator driven by his selfish desires, a chancer who got lucky more times than he deserved. Inside you’ll read about
- A City of Culture and Liberty
- The Lure of Religion
- Exchanging Lust for Love
- A Man Abroad
- The Loves of a Libertine
- A Time for Reflection
- And much more!
History likes to glamorize; it also favors hyperbole and romanticism. The truth of the man is that while he may not have been as bad as we might fear, he certainly was not as good as he liked to boast. When we use the term "a Casanova" to describe someone, it is up to our judgment as to whether we use the term as one of derision or compliment.
