Manon Lescaut

Japanese: マノン・レスコー(英語表記)Manon Lescaut
Manon Lescaut
This novel was included as an independent story in the seventh and final volume of the French author Prévost's novel The Recollections and Adventures of a Reclusive Nobleman. It was published in 1731. The official title was La histoire du chevalier Des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut. Because of the strong female protagonist's impact, it is now called as written. The 17-year-old, promising young man, Des Grieux, falls in love at first sight with the beautiful young woman Manon in the town of Amiens and follows her lead by running off to Paris.
