The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

“To Paris and Prison” is the second volume of the seductive Casanova’s memoirs. Here is his deep and devoted relationship with Henriette; after she leaves, however, “Bravois lures me back to my Former way of living.” Casanova travels to Paris, Vienna, and Venice, leaving a trail of scandal in his wake—for this, he is arrested. However, he uses the help of a renegade priest to escape, and heads back to Paris to establish the lottery.
