CASANOVA. LA SONATA DEI CUORI INFRANTI (CASANOVA. THE BALLAD OF BROKEN HEARTS)
Book ID/图书代码： 08439018C00002
English Summary/英文概要： Venice, mid-1700s: the city is decaying and agonizing under violence and widespread poverty. The aristocracy has for the most part retreated in the villas on the mainland, and the city seems to have lost its ancient splendour.
Giacomo Casanova has just come back to Venice when Countess Margarethe Von Steinberg, Austrian noble known for her unique beauty, challenges him: if the
adventurous Giacomo were able to seduce Francesca Erizzo, the young daughter of one of the most notable men in town, then she, countess Von Steinberg, will give herself to him. Casanova agrees. Little by little Francesca falls into the trap of the seducer, but the courtship, which was only plotted for fun, soon turns into
something deeper: Casanova finds himself falling in love with Francesca.
Their relationship has to face the aristocracy’s and the Inquisitors’s opposition and
will lead them both close to madness: Giacomo confined in prison, and Francesca
spontaneously secluded in a monastery. The victory of Countess Von Steinberg appears to be completed and far larger than imagined: the conspiracy was in fact planned from above with the aim of affirming the power of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire.
Interweaving facts and fiction in a sort of House of Cards set in 1700s, Strukul tells the story of a fight for power; of subterfuges and frauds plotted in shady alleys: of seduction used as a weapon: of cruel games and manipulative talents.
With a vivid, colourful and at times dramatic language, Strukul tells the story not just of Casanova the seducer, but of the powerful, unforgettable women – Francesca, Margarethe, Gretchen – who are the true protagonists of the story.
In the background there is Venice, one of the most beautiful and popular cities in the world, a strong presence albeit quite distant from its contemporary tourist imaginary: a dark, weary Republic pushed to the edge of the abyss, which
reluctantly accepts to lose the sceptre of Queen of the seas.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 威尼斯18世纪中期：这座城市正在经历衰落，在暴力和普遍的贫困中挣扎。大部分的贵族都撤退在大陆的别墅里，而这座城市似乎已经失去了古老的辉煌。
卡萨诺瓦•贾科莫刚刚回到威尼斯，那时伯爵夫人•冯•斯坦伯格，奥地利贵族以她独特的美丽挑战他:如果贾科莫能够冒险引诱弗朗西斯卡•艾利索，镇上最著名的人之一的年轻的女儿，然后她，伯爵夫人冯•斯坦伯格，会把自己给他。卡萨诺瓦表示同意。小弗朗西斯卡掉进了诱惑者的陷阱里，但是求爱，只是为了好玩，很快就变成了更深层次的东西：卡萨诺瓦发现自己爱上了弗朗西斯卡。
他们的关系必须面对贵族和审讯者的反对，并且会使他们两人都接近疯狂：贾科莫被关在监狱里，弗朗西斯卡则自然地隐居在一个修道院里。冯斯坦伯格夫人的胜利似乎已经完成，而且远比想象的要大：阴谋实际上是有计划的，目的是为了确认奥匈帝国的权力。
18世纪，斯特卢古尔在一套纸牌屋中编织事实和虚构故事，讲述了一场争夺权力的斗争；在阴暗的小巷里，有一种被用作武器的诱惑：残酷的游戏和操纵性的才能。斯特卢古尔用生动的语言和戏剧性的语言讲述了这个故事，不仅讲述了卡萨诺瓦的故事，还讲述了一个强大而难忘的女人——弗朗西斯卡、玛格丽特、格雷琴——谁才是故事的真正主角。
在威尼斯,有一个世界上最美丽、最受欢迎的城市，一个强大的存在，即使那是很遥远的当代旅游想象:一个黑暗的疲惫的共和国步入了深渊的边缘，勉强接受失去海洋女王的权杖。（WYL）
