Return to Naples is a memoir written by Jacques Casanova, a renowned 18th-century Italian writer, adventurer, and infamous womanizer. The book chronicles Casanova's return to Naples after a 20-year absence and his reflections on his past experiences in the city. Throughout the book, Casanova recounts his various romantic escapades and conquests in Naples, as well as his encounters with notable figures such as the King of Naples and the famous composer, Niccol������ Jommelli. He also reflects on his personal growth and experiences, including his time spent in prison and his philosophical musings on love and relationships. Casanova's writing is characterized by his wit, charm, and candidness, making for an entertaining and insightful read. The book offers a unique glimpse into 18th-century Naples and the life of one of history's most fascinating figures.Momolo took the money, and promised to buy the garden the following day, and the young man shedding tears of joy and gratitude fell on his knees and kissed my hand. All the girls wept, as I myself did, for there's a contagion in such happy tears. Nevertheless, they did not all proceed from the same source; some were virtuous and some vicious, and the young man's were the only ones whose source was pure and unalloyed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
