The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova De Seingalt, 1725-1798. Volume 10: Under the Leads
Translated by Arthur Machen
The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova De Seingalt, Volume 10: Under the Leads, written by Giacomo Casanova in the late 19th century, details his imprisonment in the Leads, a notorious Venetian prison. This volume explores themes of oppression, despair, and resilience as Casanova recounts his arrest by the Inquisitors and the grim realities of his incarceration. Through his sharp observations and humor, he reflects on human nature and his struggle for sanity amidst dire circumstances, while also depicting life with fellow prisoners against the backdrop of 18th-century Europe.

“What has infused my very blood with an unconquerable hatred of the whole tribe of fools from the day of my birth is that I become a fool myself whenever I am in their company.””
