Immerse yourself in 18th-century Venice with 'The Escape from the Leads', an exciting narrative by Giacomo Casanova about his daring escape from the Venetian prison. This account, taken from his memoirs 'Histoire de ma vie', offers an intimate view of Casanova's personality and the world of intrigue and adventure that surrounded him. Translated and with a prologue by Ángel Crespo, this book is a jewel of literature that captures the essence of an era and the courage of a man.
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.
