Return To Italy

By Giacomo Casanova

Book Overview

Return to Italy is a memoir written by the infamous lover, adventurer, and writer, Jacques Casanova. The book is a continuation of his earlier memoirs and covers his return to his beloved Italy after years of being exiled from his home country. Casanova takes the reader on a journey through the cities and towns of Italy, recounting his experiences and encounters with various individuals along the way. He also reflects on his own life, his past loves, and his current state of mind. The book is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of history's most enigmatic figures, and provides a unique perspective on life in 18th century Italy.The woman who shewing little succeeds in making a man want to see more, has accomplished three-fourths of the task of making him fall in love with her; for is love anything else than a kind of curiosity? I think not; and what makes me certain is that when the curiosity is satisfied the love disappears. Love, however, is the strongest kind of curiosity in existence, and I was already curious about Annette.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
