Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Casanova His Known and Unknown Life' is an exhaustive and evocative biography of one of history's most enigmatic and enduring figures. S. Guy Endore explores the multifaceted life of Giacomo Casanova, looking beyond his legendary reputation as a libertine to reveal a man who was also a scholar, spy, diplomat, and perennial wanderer. By synthesizing Casanova's own voluminous memoirs with contemporary historical records, this work reconstructs the vibrant and often decadent atmosphere of 18th-century Europe, from the secretive corridors of Venice to the grand courts of the continent.The narrative meticulously examines the contradictions of Casanova's existence, balancing his celebrated romantic conquests with his intellectual pursuits and his talent for high-stakes intrigue. Endore provides a vivid portrait of the Enlightenment era, capturing its social fluidity and intellectual ferment. This biography offers a deep dive into the reality behind the myth, recounting Casanova's daring prison breaks, his financial gambles, and his encounters with the leading minds of his day. It remains a compelling study of a life defined by an insatiable appetite for experience and the relentless pursuit of personal freedom.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Casanova', S. Guy Endore provides a compelling and meticulously researched biography of one of history's most enigmatic and colorful figures. Giacomo Casanova remains the quintessential adventurer, a man whose life spanned the glittering courts and shadowy underpinnings of 18th-century Europe. Endore delves beneath the myth of the legendary lover to reveal a complex individual who was also a scholar, a spy, a gambler, and a prolific writer.The work chronicles Casanova's extraordinary journeys from his native Venice to the far reaches of the continent, capturing the spirit of the Enlightenment through the eyes of a man who lived its every excess and intellectual pursuit. From his daring escape from the Leads prison in Venice to his interactions with the era's most influential thinkers and monarchs, 'Casanova' offers a vivid portrait of a man who refused to be bound by the social constraints of his time. Endore's narrative balances the scandalous details of Casanova's personal life with a thoughtful examination of his literary contributions and historical significance. This biography is an essential read for those interested in the cultural history of the 18th century and the enduring legacy of a man whose name has become synonymous with seduction and intrigue.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Loosely based on the Haitian slave insurrection of 1791, Babouk is a biting account of colonialism at its peak. By using the imagination of the novelist to fill in the gaps in the historical record, Endore is able to show us how slavery felt to the slaves who experienced it. His novel is rare for its depiction of the shared history of the slaves and its attention to the variety of the slave experience. It provides the reader with a vivid history of Haiti and a compelling account of slavery and rebellion.…
