Episode 126: Casanovella

CW: Incest, Suicidal Ideation Mention

A challenge has been thrown into the ring! Can we make you hate Casanova? With Remy on the case, we’ll drag you down to hater status. The man fucked his way around Europe and wrote thousands of pages of memoirs. He was a sugar baby and a lover of clitties. However…

First thing’s first, let’s just get a look at this man. On the left, that’s young Casanova, and on the right, that’s old man Casanova.

This is a short article from Yale about Casanova. It details who he is as a person and a bit about his exploits. If you’re looking for a quick read, this is the one.

This one details a lot of his exploits like that prison escape or that time he pretended to be an alchemist. It’s longer and a fun read.

Now you want some real fun, quirky things about Casanova, read through this article. Want to hear about that time a witch cured Casanova of a health issue, how young he was with his very first sexual experience, the time he met the pope, and more? Read this one.

There was some parts in Casanova’s life where he really wanted to get into medicine but for one reason or another, he just didn’t do it for real. But he did study it on his own time and people did look to him for medicinal advice. And he did save that Senator using his knowledge. Read this article in The Times about all of his medical knowledge with all the weirdness and the awful parts too.

Here is an image of the memoirs of Casanova. I just love seeing his handwriting.

Finally, if you want to read at leas three volumes of the memoirs translated into English, read this version The Memoirs of Casanova by Jacques Casanova de Seingalt over on Project Gutenberg.
