Return To Venice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419144561)

Return to Venice is a book written by Jacques Casanova, a famous Italian adventurer and writer. The book is a memoir that recounts Casanova's return to Venice, the city where he had lived for most of his life. The memoir is set in the late 18th century, a time when Venice was in decline and under the rule of the Austrian Empire.Casanova's return to Venice is not a happy one. He is an old man, and the city he once knew has changed. He is haunted by memories of his past, and he is forced to confront the mistakes he made in his youth. The book is a reflection on life, love, and the passage of time.The memoir is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Casanova's life. He reflects on his career as a writer, his love affairs, his friendships, and his travels. He also describes the political and social climate of Venice at the time, and how it has changed since he left.Return to Venice is a beautifully written book that captures the essence of a bygone era. It is a poignant reflection on life and the human condition, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in history, literature, or the art of memoir writing.He left us, and I remained alone with Christine. I spent an hour with her without trying to give her even a kiss, although I was dying to do so, but I prepared her heart to burn with the same desires which were already burning in me by those words which so easily inflame the imagination of a young girl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
