VENETIAN AFFAIR, A(ISBN=9780375726170) 英文原版 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

　　In the waning days of Venice’s glory in the mid-1700s, Andrea

Memmo was scion to one the city’s oldest patrician families. At the

age of twenty-four he fell passionately in love with

sixteen-year-old Giustiniana Wynne, the beautiful, illegitimate

daughter of a Venetian mother and British father. Because of their

dramatically different positions in society, they could not marry.

And Giustiniana’s mother, afraid that an affair would ruin her

daughter’s chances to form a more suitable union, forbade them to

see each other. Her prohibition only fueled their desire and so

began their torrid, secret seven-year-affair, enlisting the aid of

a few intimates and servants (willing to risk their own positions)

to shuttle love letters back and forth and to help facilitate their

clandestine meetings. Eventually, Giustiniana found herself

pregnant and she turned for help to the infamous Casanova–himself

infatuated with her.

Two and half centuries later, the unbelievable story of this

star-crossed couple is told in a breathtaking narrative, re-created

in part from the passionate, clandestine letters Andrea and

Giustiniana wrote to each other.
