Galia and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (Biblioteca Nacional de España. ) "Manon Lescaut" by abbé Prévost is a novel likely written in the early 18th century. The book centers on the passionate and tumultuous love story of the young chevalier Des Grieux and the enigmatic Manon Lescaut. It promises an exploration of love, betrayal, and the challenges posed by societal expectations and personal desires through its deeply human characters. The opening of "Manon Lescaut" sets the scene with an introductory reflection on the nature of enduring literature, emphasizing the timelessness and emotional truth of Prévost’s story. The narrative then shifts to an encounter with Des Grieux, who is seen in a state of despair as he follows Manon, now a prisoner being transported to exile. Through a framing device, Des Grieux recounts his youthful, naive devotion to Manon: from his innocent studies in Amiens, through his fateful meeting with her, their impulsive decision to elope, and the subsequent spiral into passion, jealousy, poverty, and social ruin. The early chapters chronicle the initial raptures of love, mounting challenges, misunderstandings, betrayals, and desperate attempts at reunion—capturing a sense of both emotional intensity and the disastrous consequences their love provokes.
