To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But instead, Voltaire presented him to his sycophants, not at all as a notable guest, but as a sort of amusing entertainment which might divert their idle or their malignant leisure. And thus at the very first sarcasm, Casanova retired in good order, and the whole interview was irretrievably spoilt.
On the occasion of his last visit, Casanova accuses Voltaire of having been particularly unkind to him in the 114 THE CHARM OF VOLTAIRE things he said, counting on the fact of his guest's immediate ...departure : " It pleased the great man to-day to be censorious, mocking, jeering, and sarcastic ; he knew that I was going the next day. " ^ It is very probable — as it is probable that Casanova made it a point of honour to maintain against Voltaire, on the subjects of Venice and superstition, Chapelain and Goldoni, Albergati and even Ariosto, some paradoxes of which he did not really believe a single word. The satisfaction which he experienced at putting his companion into a fury, or reducing him to silence — what he calls " bringing the bully to reason " — is easily to be seen ; he did not even try to hide it.
