A d'autres moments de sa vie il fait partie des intellectuels de l'époque il est reçu dans les cours européennes. Devenu riche il mène une vie de folie et de désordre.

J. Rives Childs <em>Casanoviana</em> p. 108.</p><p>On a dit que les <em>Mémoires</em> de Casanova étaient des <em>Anticonfessions</em>.</p><p>" <em>Je n'écris ni l'histoire d'un illustre ni un roman. Digne ou indigne ma vie est ma matière ma matière est ma vie. L'ayant faite sans avoir jamais cru que l'envie de l'écrire me viendrait elle peut avoir un caractère intéressant qu'elle n'aurait peut-être pas si je l'avais faite avec l'intention de l'écrire dans mes vieux jours et qui plus est de la publier</em> ".</p><p>" <em>Lecteur attentif des uvres autobiographiques de Saint Augustin de Montaigne et du marquis d'Argent Casanova connaît l'uvre de Rousseau qu'il critique souvent mais sans pouvoir cacher une admiration mêlée d'envie. Il dira " Je ne donnerai pas à mon histoire le titre de Confessions car depuis qu'un extravagant l'a souillé je ne peux plus le souffrir. Mais elle sera une confession si jamais il en fut. On me dira qu'un livre qui alarme la vertu est mauvais. J'avoue que ceux dont la vertu préférée est la chasteté doivent s'abstenir de me lire.</em> ".</p><p>L'influence de l'ouvrage s'étend outremer. Un article publié dans la <em>North American Review</em> datée de 1835 est consacré aux <em>Mémoires</em> de <em>Casanova </em>: " <em>It presents a curious and not uninstructive picture of the state of society in Europe at the period immediately preceding the French Revolution</em> ".</p><p>L'auteur de l'article évoque l'arrestation de l'auteur par l'Inquisition pour en faire un élément de comparaison entre les politiques européenne et américaine " <em>The constant repetition of similar cases of the violation of private right by the old governments of Europe was among the causes that operated most strongly in bringing on the revolutionary movements of the last century. We are not blind to the inconveniences abuses and dangers of our political system but it gives us a permanent national peace instead of the wars that constantly desolate Europe </em>". <em>The North American Review</em> xli p.46-69.</p><p>En 1834 l'ouvrage est mis à l'index des livres interdits.</p><p>" Vendus au grand jour ou sous le manteau les <em>Mémoires</em> firent un tapage d'enfer et partout l'on en parla soit pour douter de leur authenticité soit pour discuter la véracité des confessions amoureuses du Vénitien soit pour s'en inspirer dans les milieux romantiques Balzac Théophile Gautier Gorge Sand Roger de Beauvoir Eugène Sue avant Émile Zola et Pierre Louys puisèrent au gré de leur imagination dans le vaste réservoir d'aventures que Casanova mettait à leur disposition.</p><p>C'est surtout à la suite de la " grande guerre " que le prix de n'importe quelle uvre de Jacques Casanova devint inabordable et chimérique. L'édition Brockhaus oscillait par exemple entre 99 francs reliée vente P.-A. Chéramy et 405 francs brochée même vente vacation du lundi 21 avril 1913. En 1917 la vente J. P. Bosse expert cette édition en demi-reliure basane tranches jaspées trouvait acquéreur à 295 francs.</p><p>N'espérez pas désormais obtenir un exemplaire moins d'un billet de mille ou de 1 500 francs quand l'occasion se présentera si elle se présente !. " J. Pollio.</p><p>Le dernier exemplaire référencé sur le marché français relié en demi veau postérieur avec rousseurs fut vendu 75 000 Francs en mai 1996.</p><p>" La plus grande acquisition patrimoniale " de la Bibliothèque nationale de France a été finalisée le 18 février 2010. Le Ministre de la Culture <em>Frédéric Mitterrand</em> a signé l'acte qui fait officiellement entrer à la B.n.F. les manuscrits des <em>Mémoires</em> de <em>Casanova</em> ; il s'agit d'un manuscrit de 3 700 pages non reliées déclaré " <em>bien d'intérêt patrimonial majeur</em> ". L'objet excitait la convoitise des grandes bibliothèques et des collectionneurs du monde entier depuis les années 1960.</p><p>Giacomo Girolano Casanova tour à tour financier diplomate escroc joueur mais toujours intellectuel éclairé à sa manière entame la rédaction de ses mémoires dans un français parsemé de ratures et d'italianismes aux alentours de 1789. Autant dire " <em>au crépuscule de son existence comme au crépuscule du siècle </em>" agité par les " <em>tourments révolutionnaires </em>" a signalé le ministre de la Culture. Il aura fallu trois ans et l'intervention d'un généreux mécène du milieu de la finance ayant déboursé près de 7 millions d'euros pour finaliser cette acquisition exceptionnelle.</p><p>Lors de la cérémonie le ministre de la Culture a rendu hommage à " <em>l'un des grands auteurs de la littérature française du XVIIIe siècle </em>" et à sa " <em>liberté de ton et de propos qui se nourrit d'une vraie liberté de conduite</em> ".</p><p>Précieux exemplaire pur et sans rousseur de la plus extrême rareté en pleine reliure décorée de l'époque.</p> Tournachon-Molin.
