Description
The Story of the Chevalier Des Grieux and Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost is a tale of passion and betrayal that spans centuries. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Paris, this story follows the complex and enigmatic Manon Lescaut as she navigates love, delinquency, and misalliance. Through the eyes of her lover, Des Grieux, we witness Manon's journey from the city's theatres and gaming-houses to prison and deportation. But can we trust Des Grieux's account? Is Manon a thief and a whore, or is she something more? This new translation includes an introduction by Angela Scholar and eight illustrations that were originally published in 1753. Oxford World's Classics has made this work available once again, providing a reliable text with expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
