Manon Lescaut: Romaani by abbé Prévost
"Manon Lescaut: Romaani" by abbé Prévost is a novel first published in 1731. It tells the tragic story of Chevalier des Grieux, a young nobleman, and Manon Lescaut, a common woman whose passionate love leads them into moral decline. Their decision to live together unmarried spirals into gambling, fraud, theft, and ultimately deportation to New Orleans. Narrated by des Grieux himself, this scandalous tale shocked eighteenth-century Paris with its realistic depiction of
forbidden love and criminal desperation, becoming one of French literature's most reprinted classics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
