| Summary |
"The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798: Volume 27: Expelled…" by Jacques Casanova is an autobiographical account written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and adventures of Casanova, famed for his romantic escapades and complex character, as he navigates through various European cities in pursuit of pleasure and self-discovery. This volume, specifically titled "Expelled…," hints at the turmoil and controversies that surround his life as he grapples with relationships and the political intrigue of his times. The opening of this memoir introduces us to Casanova's sojourn in Spain, where he soon finds himself embroiled in a sequence of unfortunate events stemming from a social blunder. After an indiscretion involving Count Manucci and the manipulative Baron de Fraiture, he learns that he is now a target of conspiracy and scandal. As relationships crumble and suspicion grows, Casanova’s grip on his aspirations begins to falter, leading to his eventual expulsion from Madrid. He reflects on his previous joys, longs for connection with his love, Donna Ignazia, and encounters a series of colorful characters, including Nina, a dancer with a dangerous allure, establishing the stage for more thrilling narratives ahead.
