Originally published in 1942, this book contains the French text of
Abbe Prevost's 1731 novel Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de
Manon Lescaut, which inspired the 1893 opera by Puccini. The
original novel was considered so scandalous that Prevost was forced
to amend the original manuscript; the text reproduced here is from
the altered 1753 edition. A biographical introduction to the author
is provided at the beginning of the volume. This book will be of
value to anyone with an interest in French literature.
