Seducer, gambler, necromancer, swindler, Good Samaritan, spy, swashbuckler, self-made gentleman, entrepreneur, wit, poet, translator, philosopher and general bon vivant, Giacomo Casanova was not only the most notorious lover the Western World has ever known, but also a storyteller of the first order. This, from the back of my well-thumbed copy of Casanova’s The Story of …
One of the key questions of my life has been whether to select hedonism or stoicism as my governing philosophy. Even today the jury is still out, and I have a tendency to flit between the two.
