Casanova: A Study in Self-Portraiture
By Stefan Zweig
$10.00
The master of biography, Stefan Zweig turns his attention to the life of history's most notorious lover
Casanova, the Venetian who lived most of his life in exile from his beloved city and created his own myth which in turn is a reflection of the nature of the city itself is the subject of this masterly biographical essay by Stefan Zweig. As Zweig describes in this volume: Imaginative writers rarely have a biography, and men who have biographies are only in exceptional circumstances able to write them ... Casanova is a splendid, almost unique exception.
