When the young Chevalier des Grieux meets the innocent Manon Lescaut on the road to Paris, it is love at first sight, and the feeling is mutual. The passion that consumes them leads them away from the pious path they were each following, and instead plunges them into a gradual decline.
Marked by petty theft, robbery and murder for one, and deceit and prostitution for the other, their path nevertheless always brings them back to each other, because their love is stronger than the darkness of their actions.
A memoir-novel by an abbot who himself went astray several times, Manon Lescaut has scandalized as much as it has been celebrated, and is as much a novel of manners, a classical tragedy or a comedy of intrigue.
