Description and Table of Contents

Description

Casanova had been judged a Don Juan of the salons, cold and indifferent to women, but in this account, Lydia Flem rediscovers him as she believes he really was - an ardent hero of the Enlightenment, a man of great charm, imagination and vitality, a true friend and lover of women.
