Back Again to Paris is a memoir written by the famous Venetian adventurer and writer, Jacques Casanova. In this book, Casanova recounts his return to Paris in 1757 after being exiled from the city for his scandalous behavior. The memoir provides a vivid description of Parisian society during the 18th century, including the salons, theaters, and the royal court. Casanova's writing style is witty and engaging, and he provides detailed accounts of his romantic escapades and encounters with notable figures of the time, such as Voltaire and Madame de Pompadour. The book also offers a glimpse into Casanova's personal life, including his struggles with finances and his attempts to establish himself as a legitimate businessman.Overall, Back Again to Paris is an entertaining and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Paris and the life of one of its most colorful characters.I had two objects in speaking thus: I wanted to frighten him and to make him jealous of me. I felt certain that a man in a passion of jealousy would be quite confused, and I hoped his play would suffer accordingly, and that I should not have the mortification of losing a hundred louis to his superior play, though I won the fifty louis of the wager.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
