Verslag van de financiële en seksuele avonturen van Casanova (1725-1798) tijdens zijn twee bezoeken aan Nederland in 1758 en 1760.
Giacomo Casanova was een Venetiaanse avonturier en auteur wiens belangrijkste werk wordt beschouwd als een authentieke bron voor het begrijpen van de gebruiken en normen van het Europese sociale leven in de 18e eeuw. Zijn naam is synoniem geworden met de kunst van de verleiding, en roept voor altijd zijn reputatie op als de "grootste minnaar ter wereld". Hoewel hij omging met Europese royalty en vooraanstaande figuren van zijn tijd, zou het levenswerk van Casanova vergeten kunnen zijn als hij niet een periode in dienst van graaf Waldstein in Bohemen had doorgebracht, waar hij zijn verveling verdreef door zijn levensverhaal op te schrijven.
