Artikelbeschreibung
AUF ENGLISCH! UNBENUTZT! —
Double lives are lived twice as fast and twice as dangerously as others.
—-
1782. The thirteen-year-old daughter of a Venetian merchant family is lured naked from her bath by a cat and finds herself in the arms of Casanova - the legendary lover of women.
Twenty-five year later Cecilia is in Albania, now a portrait painter of great renown, her professional fame eclipsed only by her reputation as the last woman in Venice to have been loved by Casanova. Enter a young man from England, a troubled poet looking for adventure at any price - a man who begins his relationship with Cecilia with the announcement: „I rather look on love as a hostile Transaktion.“ He is George Gordon, Lord Byron.
Set against the decaying grandeur of Venice, „Carnevale“ is a sensuous novel of love and desire.
