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 Trask's exemplary translation... makes the real Casanova accessible in English... as strange, as diverse, as compelling as fiction. -- John Simon Book Week 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 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1-13\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 8\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1-10\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405188997463,"sku":"9780801856655","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/history-of-my-life-volumes-7-and-8-9780801856655","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
