Casanova's Homecoming

More about the book

In his fifty-third year, Casanova grapples with the restlessness of approaching old age, contrasting his past adventurous spirit with a deep yearning for his birthplace, Venice. This longing manifests as a metaphorical descent, likened to a wounded bird, as he finds himself increasingly drawn back to the city he once knew. The narrative explores themes of nostalgia and the inevitable passage of time, capturing the tension between his vibrant past and the quieter present.
