Publisher's Synopsis

""Paris"" by Jacques Casanova is a memoir that recounts the author's experiences in the city of Paris during the 18th century. Casanova, a notorious libertine and adventurer, offers readers a vivid and detailed account of the sights, sounds, and personalities that he encountered during his time in the city. From the salons of the aristocracy to the back alleys of the city's red-light district, Casanova paints a picture of a vibrant and complex city that is both alluring and dangerous. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural life of Paris during this time period, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the city or the life of one of its most famous residents.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.
