Summary "The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Volume 07: Venice" is a historical memoir written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and adventures of Jacques Casanova, a notorious figure known for his romantic escapades and encounters with various historical personalities throughout his life. In this volume, Casanova shares his experiences during his stay in Vienna, detailing his interactions with poets, operas, and notable figures of the time, particularly touching on themes of love and society's morals. At the start of this volume, Casanova recounts his arrival in Vienna, highlighting his financial struggles and the social circles he navigates. He meets Abbe Metastasio, shares insightful conversations about poetry and societal critiques, and describes the oppressive atmosphere cultivated by Empress Maria Theresa’s strict morality concerning love and relationships. The narrative unfolds with Casanova's amusement at the absurdity of the police's zealous enforcement of chastity, his mingling with talented artists, and the romantic tensions that build as he encounters various characters, leading to his reflections on love, desire, and personal freedom. This opening sets the stage for a whirlwind of romantic adventures intertwined with sharp social commentary, encapsulating the allure and challenges of 18th-century European high society.
