«Manon Lescaut» is the classic novel by Abbé Prévost, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (249 pages, in French).
The Chevalier des Grieux narrates his relationship with Manon, a young woman of humble origins whose beauty leads him to an unbridled passion. Set around 1720 between Paris and Louisiana, the story pits them against morality, family, and justice, with flights, deceptions, and strokes of fortune, raising the conflict between absolute love and social conventions.
The novel was originally published in 1731. This edition belongs to the Folio classique collection and includes a preface by Jean-Louis Bory.
A work of interest for readers of French literary classics and the eighteenth century.
Antoine François Prévost d'Exiles, usually known simply as the Abbé Prévost, was a French priest, author, and novelist. He is best remembered for Manon Lescaut (1731), a romance and adventure novel, the most reprinted novel in French literary history.
