Casanova's Women
The world's greatest seducer - and the array of remarkable women he pursued - as you have never seen them before 'His final scenes make an arresting image ... entertaining ... Judith Summers has worked hard to explore who these women really were' TLS 'Summers relays all the most succulent scandals from the life of the famous womaniser' Telegraph Eighteenth-century Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova, history's most famous seducer, talked his way into the beds of more than 200 women. Charming, brilliant and devastatingly attractive, the compulsive womaniser claimed to like and understand his conquests. But he could also be ruthless, cruel, selfish and dishonest. Who were these women who established Casanova's extraordinary reputation? From the two sisters with whom he had his first sexual experience to the libidinous Venetian nun who defied God in order to sleep with him, from the wealthy widow he tricked out of a fortune to the love of his life, the glamorous and daring Henriette, they all have their story to tell.

Las mujeres de Casanova
Judith Summers indaga en la vida del seductor más famoso de la historia desde una perspectiva femenina, lanzando una nueva y fascinante luz sobre la figura de aquel hombre peligroso y cautivador. El aventurero veneciano del siglo XVIII Giacomo Casanova utilizó siempre su carisma para poder acceder al lecho de más de doscientas mujeres, convirtiendo así su nombre en sinónimo de seductor. Encantador, brillante y enormemente atractivo, Casanova aseguraba que no sólo le gustaban, sino que también entendía a sus conquistas. Pero ¿quiénes fueron las mujeres sobre las que Casanova cimentó su reputación como uno de los más grandes amantes que jamás hayan existido? Desde las dos hermanas con las que tuvo su primera experiencia sexual hasta la libidinosa monja veneciana que desafió a Dios para poder acostarse con él, desde la viuda rica a la que engañó para defraudarle una fortuna hasta el amor de su vida, la encantadora y atrevida Henriette, todas ellas tienen una historia que contar.
Giacomo carissimo...
Galileiano d’alcova, sperimentatore per definizione, Casanova scrive in francese e pensa sia nella lingua di Ariosto sia in quella di Voltaire, ma in ogni piega del suo discorso c’è infine il teatro. Egli è attore delle due commedie sia quella all’improvviso sia di quella in cui la partitura è scritta giorno per giorno e poi di nuovo, alla fine della propria vita, con un talento felice e una dedizione allo scrittorio non inferiore a quella avuta per il tavolo da gioco. Monumentale e pluridialogica la sua Histoire de ma vie mette in relazione il modello umorale della Vita di Cellini con l’ossessiva trasparenza promossa dalle Confessions di Rousseau. Ora questo scrittore dal success...
Adventurer
A fast-paced narrative about the world-famous libertine Giacomo Casanova, from celebrated biographer Leo Damrosch"Fully succeeds in communicating that 'vivid presentness, ' that 'joyful eagerness' for life, which is what keeps us reading Casanova--and reading about him."--Gregory Dowling, Wall Street Journal "A nuanced, deftly contextualized biography of an adventurer, an opportunist, and a man of voracious appetites . . . another top-notch work from Damrosch."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The life of the iconic libertine Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) has never been told in the depth it deserves. An alluring representative of the Enlightenment's shadowy underside, Casanova was an aspiring...
