Return to Rome is a memoir written by Jacques Casanova, a notorious 18th-century Italian adventurer and seducer. The book chronicles his return to Rome after years of exile and his attempt to reclaim his former life and reputation. Casanova's narrative is filled with vivid descriptions of the city, its people, and its customs. He recounts his encounters with various individuals, including cardinals, artists, and courtesans, and provides insights into the political and religious climate of the time. Throughout the book, Casanova reflects on his past experiences and the mistakes that led to his downfall. He also discusses his philosophy on love and relationships, which he sees as a game of strategy and manipulation. Return to Rome is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of history's most intriguing figures. It offers a unique perspective on 18th-century Italy and the social and cultural norms of the time.. The duchess told me as much on the occasion of my third visit. She did not give me the information in a complaining tone, or as if she was fain to be consoled, but merely to defy her confessor, who had threatened her with excommunication if she went on telling people about her husband's condition, or if she tried to cure him of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
