 Intuition and Rigor
One of the torch bearers of the formalization attempts in the 19th century was the Czech analyst Bernhard Bolzano (1781-1848.) In his critique of the attempts to prove the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, he wrote
The most common kind of proof depends on a truth borrowed from geometry, namely, that every continuous line of simple curvature of which the ordinates are first positive and then negative (or conversely) must necessarily intersect the x-axis somewhere at a point that lies in between those ordinates.
However, in the footsteps of Bolzano, it would be "an intolerable offense against correct method" to refer to somebody's concept of quantity in a proof claimed to be rigorous.

 Casanova in Bolzano (Conversations in Bolzano) - Márai Sándor
Marai goes on to note that his: "hero bears an unfortunate resemblance" to the historic Casanova, but as he explains -- and given that he never actually uses the (in)famous name in the book -- he clearly means it to be something more than an historic novel based on the character.
Hungarian readers, British readers (reading Conversations in Bolzano), French (reading La Conversation de Bolzano), etc. might get this -- but Americans have Casanova thrust in their faces in a way Marai can not have intended: the title leaves no doubt, this is a book about Casanova in Bolzano.
Casanova in Bolzano is a decent character study and fairly entertaining, but ultimately too wordy for a good action-romance (and too active and romantic for a philosophical-literary work).
