Casanova: The Man Who Really Loved Women. FLEM, LYDIA.

Poet, priest, scholar, philosopher, musician, moralist, and magician, Casanova was also Europes most notorious love. In this fascinating interpretation of his History of My Life, Lydia Flem discerns the pattern that enabled a sickly Venetian baby to become the audacious, gallant man behind the legend, who flung himself into experience without asking for anything in return but that most scandalous of all rewards - pleasure.
