Giacomo Casanova Libros
Giacomo Casanova fue un aventurero y autor veneciano cuya obra principal es considerada una fuente auténtica para comprender las costumbres y normas de la vida social europea del siglo XVIII. Su nombre se ha convertido en sinónimo del arte de la seducción, evocando para siempre su reputación como el "mayor seductor del mundo". Aunque se relacionó con la realeza europea y figuras notables de su época, la obra de su vida podría haber sido olvidada si no fuera por su período de servicio al Conde Waldstein en Bohemia, donde alivió su aburrimiento al relatar la historia de su vida.
