Description

The French writer, abbot Antoine-François Prévost d'Exiles (1697-1763), gained worldwide fame as the author of multi-volume novels. However, his immortal fame was brought by the short novel "The Adventures of the Chevalier de Grieux and Manon Lescaut" (1731), recognized as a masterpiece of world literature. In this small work, Prévost describes the story of de Grieux's all-consuming love and destructive passion for the charming and capricious Manon Lescaut, in whose image, according to G. de Maupassant, the writer "embodied all that is most fascinating, alluring, and base in women".
