Synopsis "Manon Lescaut (in French)"

L'Histoire du chevalier Des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, aujourd'hui plus communément appelé Manon Lescaut, est un roman-mémoires de l'abbé Prévost faisant partie des Mémoires et Aventures d'un homme de qualité qui s'est retiré du monde (7 volumes, rédigés de 1728 à 1731). Le livre étant jugé scandaleux à deux reprises (1733 et 1735), saisi et condamné à être brûlé, l'auteur publie en 1753, une nouvelle édition de Manon Lescaut revue, corrigée et augmentée d'un épisode important.
