In Casanova, noted author Ian Kelly traces the life of Giacomo Casanova, a man whose very name is synonymous with sensuality, seduction and sexual prowess. But Casanova was more than just a great lover. A businessman, diplomat, spy, and philosopher, he authored more than twenty books, including a translation of The Iliad. Confidant to many infamous characters—including Madame de Pompadour, Voltaire, and Catherine the Great—Casanova was undoubtedly charismatic. But how exactly did he seduce himself into infamy?
In this richly drawn portrait, Casanova emerges as very much a product of eighteenth-century Venice. He reveled in its commedia del arte and Kelly posits that his successes as both a libertine and a libertarian grew from his careful study of its artifice and illusion. Food, travel, sex: Casanova’s great passions are timeless ones and Kelly brings to life in full flavor the grandeur of his exploits. He also articulates the fascinating personal philosophy that inspired Casanova’s quest to bed all manner of women.
A riveting look at the life of the most legendary lover of all time, this is destined to become the definitive biography of Giacomo Casanova.
我尤其欣賞這本書所傳達齣的那種對生活的熱愛和對自由的追求。雖然書中涉及的場景和人物都充滿瞭那個時代的烙印,但其核心精神卻是跨越時空的。它讓我們看到,即使在物質條件不如當下,人們依然能夠通過情感、智慧和勇氣,活齣屬於自己的精彩。這種積極的生活態度,對於現在的我們來說,不失為一種精神上的啓迪。
评分我一直對那個時代的一些風物人情頗感興趣,這本書的文字風格恰恰抓住瞭這一點。作者的筆觸非常細膩,描繪細節的時候,仿佛把讀者也拉進瞭那個年代的某個特定場景。比如,對於服飾的描寫,不是簡單地羅列名詞,而是通過材質、顔色、剪裁,甚至是一些小配飾,來勾勒齣人物的身份、性格以及當時流行的風尚,讓人身臨其境。
评分這本書的裝幀設計實在是很彆緻,封麵那種復古的絲絨質感,加上燙金的襯綫字體,拿在手裏就有一種沉甸甸的曆史感。翻開第一頁,紙張的厚度也恰到好處,不是那種容易泛黃的廉價紙,而是帶著一種溫潤的觸感,仿佛能嗅到一絲淡淡的油墨香。我特彆喜歡它內頁的排版,字號大小適中,行間距也很舒適,閱讀起來不會覺得壓抑。
评分閱讀的過程中,我多次被作者的語言所打動。那些詞語的選擇,句式的運用,都充滿瞭藝術感。他能夠用非常凝練的文字,錶達齣豐富的情感和深刻的哲理。有時候,一段對話,一個眼神,或者一個細微的動作,都能被作者賦予不同的解讀,引人深思。這種文字的魅力,讓我更加期待作者未來的作品。
评分不得不說,作者在敘事節奏的把握上很有功力。情節的推進張弛有度,總能在恰當的時候拋齣一個引人入勝的點,讓你忍不住想繼續往下讀。有時候會是某個突如其來的轉摺,有時候又會是某個含蓄的暗示,都讓人迴味無窮。而且,故事的結構也頗為巧妙,並非綫性敘事,而是通過一些插敘、倒敘的手法,將整個故事拼湊得更加完整和有層次感。
