"The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Volume 28: Rome by Casanova" is part of an unfinished memoir written in French during the late 18th century. The adventurous Venetian recounts his extraordinary life through 1774 in this sprawling twelve-volume work. Originally censored and mistranslated for over a century, the manuscript's fascinating journey from Casanova's deathbed through wars, piracy, and obscurity mirrors the audacious spirit of its author. The complete, unexpurgated version finally emerged in the 1960s, revealing the unvarnished story he intended to tell. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
