Manon Lescaut by the Abbe Prevost was a controversial novel
originally banned in France due to its scandalous content -- the
passionate and unrepentant sensual relationship of a young nobleman
and a beautiful courtesan.
The young chevalier des Grieux renounces his riches and his
noble family to be with the incomparable Manon. Together they are
swept into poverty, misfortunes, and ultimately, tragedy in the New
World.
This love story has been immortalized in opera. And, as with
other grand romances of history and literature, Romeo and Juliet,
Antony and Cleopatra, Tristan and Iseult, the passion of these
young fierce lovers captures the imagination and sympathies of the
reader.
