With admirable restraint and refinement, he has conveyed the zest and sensuous delight of the original. National Book Award Citation These memoirs are compulsive reading... they are the work not only of a highly accomplished seducer but of a literary artist of the highest talents. -- J. H. Plumb New York Times Book Review Some of the most beautiful spines I have ever seen appear collectively on the six-volume edition of Casanova's History of My Life. -- Mary Cregan Financial Times 2007 Trask expertly rendered this text into English in 1966, and his is the English version to read... Compulsively readable... Certainly, few books better convey the sheer, exuberant joy of being alive and young than these reminiscences. -- Michael Dirda New York Review of Books 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1-10\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 12\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1-10\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eRevisions\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768053629271,"sku":"9780801856679","price":40.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780801856679.jpg?v=1758716088","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/history-of-my-life-9780801856679","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
