Overview

The bicentenary of Casanova's death in 1798 was commemorated with this new edition of Stefan Zweig's biographical essay, written in 1928, and originally dedicated to Maxim Gorky. Casanova, the Venetian who lived most of his life in exile from his beloved city, created his own myth, which in turn is a reflection of the city itself. Imaginative writers writes Zweig, rarely have a biography, and men who have biographies are only in exceptional circumstances able to write them.
