Convent Affairs - Giacomo Casanova - Bog

Bag om Convent Affairs

Convent Affairs is a book written by the famous Italian adventurer and author, Jacques Casanova. The book is a memoir of his experiences with nuns and other women in various convents across Europe during the 18th century. In this book, Casanova shares his intimate encounters with nuns, describing their beauty, charm, and seductive powers. He also describes the strict rules and regulations of the convents, and how he was able to circumvent them to pursue his romantic interests.The book is written in Casanova's signature style, with vivid descriptions of his escapades and his witty commentary on the social norms of his time. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of convent life during the 18th century, and the forbidden desires that lurked beneath the surface.Overall, Convent Affairs is a provocative and entertaining read, full of scandalous tales and steamy encounters. It is a must-read for fans of Casanova's work, as well as anyone interested in the history of sexuality and gender in Europe.There is nothing, there can be nothing, dearer to a thinking being than life; yet the voluptuous men, those who try to enjoy it in the best manner, are the men who practise with the greatest perfection the difficult art of shortening life, of driving it fast. They do not mean to make it shorter, for they would like to perpetuate it in the midst of pleasure, but they wish enjoyment to render its course insensible; and they are right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
