Publisher's Synopsis

""Spain"" by Jacques Casanova is a travelogue that explores the author's experiences and observations during his travels through Spain in the late 18th century. Casanova takes readers on a journey through the country's diverse regions, from Madrid to Andalusia, and offers insights into Spain's rich history, culture, and people. He describes the country's stunning landscapes, architectural marvels, and the vibrancy of its cities. Along the way, he meets a variety of people, from peasants to aristocrats, and shares their stories and customs. Casanova's writing is vivid and engaging, and his descriptions of Spain's art, music, and literature are particularly insightful. ""Spain"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Spain's history and culture, as well as for those who enjoy travel writing.I went to see Bodin, a dancer, who had married Madame Joffroy, one of my thousand mistresses whom I had loved twenty-two years ago, and had seen later at Turin, Paris, and Vienna. These meetings with old friends and sweethearts were always a weak or rather a strong point with me. For a moment I seemed to be young again, and I fed once more on the delights of long ago. Repentance was no part of my composition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
