Casanova

Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt was a Venetian adventurer and author. His main book Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life), part autobiography and part memoir, is regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century. A mere mention of Casanova brings to mind images of adventure, intrigue and of course, seduction.

He was so famous as a wOmanizer that his name remains synonymous with the art of seduction and he is sometimes called "the world's greatest lover". Intelligent, charming and cunning, Casanova could survive on his wits or his money (when he had any) with equal success. The beautiful women of Europe were at his mercy for more than one reason and the men coveted his secret knowledge of the occult and alchemy.

This true life account of adventure, intrigue, betrayal and wild sex would make the hero of any trashy romance novel blush from inexperience.
