«Memorias de España» is the memoir book by Giacomo Casanova, published by Altera in paperback (244 pages, in Spanish).
In these memoirs, Giacomo Casanova recounts his stay in Spain between 1768 and 1769, during the reign of Charles III. He describes the society and customs of the time, court festivities, food and drink, his love affairs with a Spanish woman, and his travels from Madrid to other cities in the country.
The edition, published in 2001, includes black-and-white illustrations by Josep M.ª Subirachs, translation by Ángel Crespo, and a prologue by Marina Pino.
For readers interested in the history of Spain, politics, and eighteenth-century adventure literature.
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.
