Translation of ''Histoire de ma vie''
After the success of the first German edition of Casanova's memoirs, Victor Tournachon edited a pirate edition, without access to the original manuscript. This first French edition was a German to French translation from the French to German Schütz translation, which results in a very approximate and imperfect text.
