«Histoire de ma vie. Tome 1» is the first volume of Giacomo Casanova's memoirs, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (1500 pages, in French).
Autobiography in which Giacomo Casanova narrates his life: adventures, travels, love affairs and encounters with figures of eighteenth-century Europe, written in French. This edition recovers the complete text of the manuscript, unlike earlier censored versions, and includes a critical apparatus with notes, chronology and unpublished documents.
First volume of a total of three, edited by Francis Lacassin. Published in 1993 in the Bouquins collection.
Reference work for those interested in European autobiographical literature and the social history of the eighteenth century.
Giacomo Girolamo Casanova was an adventurer and writer who was born in the Republic of Venice and travelled extensively throughout Europe. He is chiefly remembered for his autobiography, written in French and published posthumously as Histoire de ma vie. That work has come to be regarded as a unique and provocative source of information on the customs and norms of European social life in the 18th century.
