Beschreibung
Let's rid ourselves once and for all of the cliché that Casanova was merely a charming conqueror of women's hearts. Giacomo Casanova was primarily a man of letters and a philosopher, but also a spy, a mathematician, and a musician, and above all, an extraordinarily gifted observer.
This exceptional man spent a large part of his life in Bohemia. He spent long months in Prague, where he published his literary works, visited noble salons, participated in the coronation of Czech King Leopold II, and likely also influenced the preparations for the premiere of the famous Mozart opera Don Giovanni.
Casanova experienced the Rococo and early Classical Prague of the second half of the 18th century. A Prague that loved outstanding music and theater, thus becoming a leading cultural metropolis of Europe.
This book, framed by rich source material, is about all of this, about the life of the famous Venetian and Prague in his time.
