| Summary | "The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798" by Jacques Casanova is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This autobiographical work chronicles the life of the infamous Venetian adventurer, emphasizing his romantic escapades, encounters with prominent figures of his time, and observations about the society he navigated. In this particular volume, Casanova recounts his interactions with the renowned philosopher and writer Voltaire, as well as his reflections on literature, love, and the cultural happenings of the era. At the start of this volume, the narrative introduces a lively conversation between Casanova and Voltaire in a social setting, where they discuss various literary figures and philosophies. Casanova is portrayed as an eager admirer of Voltaire, engaging in a witty exchange filled with literary references. The atmosphere is vibrant, full of humor and intellectual banter. Casanova also hints at his romantic pursuits, including an escapade with three beautiful women, setting the stage for the blend of philosophical discourse and adventurous tales that characterize his memoirs. Through this opening, readers gain a glimpse into the complexity of Casanova's character—intellectual, romantic, and often playful—as he embarks on further adventures in both love and life.
