This is from Threesome PUA Society MaterialsIt is a tremendous honour to write the forword to the memoirs of a true legend: Giacomo Casanova. My husband and I have been admirers of Casanova for years. Long time ago we purchased an ancient copy of his memoirs (a picture of this document is contained on my website www.stepbystepthreesome.com) on an auction and it is one of our most treasured belongings. When I was asked to do the forword for the electronic version of this biography, I was flattered because I consider these writings a gem. I’m crazy about biographies and I must say; this is one of the most interesting, entertaining and amusing biographies I’ve ever read.Although best known for his prowess in seduction, Casanova was recognised by hiscontemporaries as an extraordinary person. Prince Charles de Ligne, a great Austrian statesman who knew most of the prominent individuals of the age, thought that Casanova was the most interesting man he had ever met and said of him, “there is nothing in the world of which he is not capable”. Count Lamberg wrote that he knew “few persons who can equal him in the range of knowledge and, in general, of his intelligence and imagination”.During Casanova’s numerous travels he encountered notable figures such as Pope Clement XIII, Catherine the Great, Frederick the Great (who afterwards commented on his good looks), Madame de Pompadour, Crebillon, who was also his French teacher, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, and many others. He was present at the premiere of Mozart’s Don Giovanni and possibly made last-minute revisions to Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto. Although Casanova took the role of businessman, diplomat, spy, politician, philosopher, magician, and writer, with more than twenty books and several plays credited to his name (including a translation of the Iliad and a history of Poland – “Istoria della turbolenze della Polonia”) – most of which were generally admired – for the greater part of his life he was a stranger to work, living largely on his quickwits, luck, social charm, and the money freely given to him by others. What an amazing man!In many ways I’ve followed his philosophy of life and I must say I’ve had a great life! There’s plenty for you to learn on these amazing 2,403 pages filled with adventure, seduction, and incredible life lessons. The qualities I like the most about Casanova are that he was attracted to strong-minded women who presented him with an intellectual as well as a romantic challenge. He did not pursue sex for its own sake and if he had nothing to say to a woman, rarely wanted to sleep with her. And unusual for his time, Casanova was egalitarian towards the sexes. He accepted women as his equals and was non-judgmental about their behaviour, according them the same status to do asthey wished as he did men. Enjoy this rare literary jewelSuzy Bauer
