Publisher's Synopsis

""Paris"" by Jacques Casanova is a memoir written by the famous Italian adventurer and seducer, detailing his experiences in the city of Paris during the 18th century. The book is a vivid account of the author's escapades in the city, including his romantic conquests, political intrigues, and encounters with the high society of Paris. Casanova's writing is rich in detail, painting a vivid picture of life in Paris during this time, from the opulent palaces to the seedy back alleys. The book is a fascinating insight into the life of one of history's most notorious figures, and a captivating read for anyone interested in the history of Paris or the life of Jacques Casanova.I thought that my newly-found cousin was unknown to me, but when I looked at her with more attention, I fancied I recollected her features. She was the Catinella, a dancer of reputation, but I had never spoken to her before. I easily guessed that she was giving me an impromptu part in a play of her own composition, and I was to be a 'deux ex machina'.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
