In 1756 Giacomo Casanova escapes from a Venetian prison and resurfaces in the Italian village of Bolzano. Here he receives an unwelcome visitor: the aging but still fearsome Duke of Parma, who years before had defeated Casanova in a duel over a ravishing girl named Francesca and spared his life on condition that he never see her again. Now the duke has taken Francesca as his wife—and intercepted a love letter from her to his old rival. Rather than kill Casanova on the spot, he makes him a startling offer, one that is logical, perverse, and irresistible. Turning an historical episode into a dazzling fictional exploration of the clasp of desire and death, \u003cb\u003eCasanova in Bolzano\u003c\/b\u003e is further proof that Sándor Márai is one of the most distinctive voices of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052127142128,"sku":"9780375712968","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780375712968_p0.jpg?v=1763692099","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780375712968","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
