Synopsis of Memorie scritte da lui medesimo

«Memorie scritte da lui medesimo» is the memoir book by Giacomo Casanova, published by Garzanti in paperback (352 pages, in Italian).

Casanova reviews in the first person key episodes of his biography: childhood and youth in Venice, travels across Europe, amorous conquests, gambling debts, and his escape from the Piombi prison. The work remained unfinished and is at once a portrait of eighteenth-century European society.

It is part of Garzanti's 'I grandi libri' collection, number 167, and the Italian edition includes a translation by Giorgio Brunacci.

For readers interested in memoirs, social history, and eighteenth-century Italian literature.
