Manon Lescaut (Dodo Press)
Antoine Francois Prevost (Antoine Francois Prevost d'Exiles) (1697-1763), usually known simply as the Abbe Prevost, was a French author and novelist. In 1713 he became a novice of the order in Paris, pursuing his studies at the same time at the college of La Fleche. At the end of 1716 he left the Jesuits to join the army, but soon tired of military life, and returned to Paris in 1719, apparently with the idea of resuming his novitiate. His restless spirit made him seek from the Pope a transfer to the easier rule of Cluny; but he left the abbey without leave, and fled to England. In London he acquired a wide knowledge of English history and literature, as can be seen in his writings. Before leaving the Benedictines, Prevost had begun perhaps his most famous novel, Memoires et Aventures d'un Homme de Qualite qui s'est Retire du Monde (1728). In 1729 he left England for the Netherlands, where he began to publish (1731) a novel; Le Philosophe Anglais, ou Histoire de Monsieur Cleveland, Fils Naturel de Cromwell, Ecrite Par Lui-Meme, et Traduite de L'Anglais (1731-1739, 8 vols).

The story of Manon Lescaut is a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from eighteenth-century Paris - with its theatres, assemblies, and gaming-houses - via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement among the treeless wastes of Louisiana.

Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost Manon Lescaut (L'Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut) is a short novel by French author Abbe Prevost. Published in 1731, it is the seventh and final volume of Memoires et aventures d'un homme de qualite (Memoirs and Adventures of a Man of Quality). It was controversial in its time and was banned in France upon publication. Despite this, it became very popular and pirated editions were widely distributed. In a subsequent 1753 edition, the Abbe Prevost toned down some scandalous details and injected more moralizing disclaimers.
