Literary fiction
The Memories of Giacomo Casanova, more famous for his lovers than writer, are very romance and may something is true, but I think very small; this judge is for some logic consideration, or exemple: how is possible that a man cans remember all this dynamic life and particulars very small, towns and words of dialogues, cloth and rooms; it is impossible! It is true that during 18th century, but also before history was tool with very richness particulars which not were absolutely happened; since Herodotus, ancient Greek historical around 5th century before Christ, dialogues and other particulars were not invented but much suspect, the oral history and also testifies are often fictions for a narration around events which not would have continue and therefore logic; this integration for completeness of tell is necessary for Herodotus and for Casanova who, certainly, also for his escape by Venetian jail, called in Italian language Piombi, something he has invented, because same questions are present, how does Casanova has reminded all events, also dialogues; this question is more important because this Memories, or History of my life, has started from 1743 and he died at 1798, remember small episodes after 55 years distance is very impressive, and more these events are very small important, therefore it is sure that he has invented much around this 55 years; but we can read this romance thinking that it is alone a romance with some moment certainly real.
