英语词汇casanova的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Casanova. Giovanni Jacopo Casanova de Seingalt’s famous memoirs run to some 1.5 million words and take us only through his 49th year. It is said that his autobiography should be trusted in the main as a portrait of the 18th century, but not in the details, yet it seems relatively tame today and the details are not as licentious or racy as they once appeared. It is often forgotten that the Italian adventurer was a man of many talents: in turn, journalist, raconteur, soldier, gambler, gastronome, preacher, abbe, philosopher, violinist, alchemist, businessman, diplomat, spy, and so on. Casanova is of course best remem- bered as a great lover, his name equaled only by don juan as a synonym for a promiscuous womanizer.
