Description

The sweetness of her glance or rather, my evil star already in its ascendant and drawing me to my ruin did not allow me to hesitate for a momentSo begins the story of Manon Lescaut, a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from early eighteenthcentury Paris with its theatres, assemblies, and gaminghouses via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement in the treeless waste of Louisiana. It is one of the great love stories, and also one of the most enigmatic how reliable a witness is Des Grieux, Manons lover, whose tale he narrates? Is Manon a thief and a whore, the image of love itself, or a thoroughly modern woman? Prvost is careful to leave the ambiguities unresolved, and to lay bare the disorders of passion.This new translation includes the vignette and eight illustrations that were approved by Prvost and first published in the edition of 1753.ABOUT THE SERIES For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
