«Manon Lescaut» is the romantic novel by French writer Abbé Prévost, published by Bookking International in paperback (217 pages, in French).
Set in Regency Paris and Louisiana around 1720, it tells of the love between the Chevalier des Grieux and Manon Lescaut, a young woman of great beauty. Elopements, deceptions and renunciations test their relationship against social conventions, in a story that moves between moral warning and the exaltation of passion.
The original title of the work, first published in 1731, is «Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut»; this edition is part of the Classiques Français collection.
For readers of French literary classics and tragic love stories.
