Abbé Prévost fu un romanziere francese la cui opera si addentra nelle complessità della natura umana e nella morsa della passione. La sua scrittura spesso esplora intricati dilemmi morali e le conseguenze di desideri insaziabili. Prévost cattura magistralmente la profondità psicologica dei suoi personaggi, illustrando le loro lotte interiori e le forze esterne che li plasmano. I lettori apprezzeranno la sua perspicace prosa e la sua capacità di creare narrazioni avvincenti che risuonano con temi senza tempo di amore, perdita e ricerca di significato.
Dějové stavby stejnojmenného románu o bezmezné lásce rytíře des Grieux ke krásné a lehkomyslné Manon použil autor k vytvoření básnického díla nevšední krásy, které je oslavou hlubokého a čistého milostného vztahu dvou lidí, který nepodléhá v žádném zápase s nepřízní osudu.
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 moment." So begins the story of Manon Lescaut, a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from early eighteenth-century Paris--with its theatres, assemblies, and gaming-houses-via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement in the treeless wastes of Louisiana. It is one of the great love stories, and also one of the most enigmatic: how reliable a witness is Des Grieux, Manon's lover, whose tale he narrates? Is Manon a thief and a whore, the image of love itself, or a thoroughly modern woman? Prevost 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 Prevost and first published in the edition of 1753.
