Synopsis "Manon Lescaut (in French)"

Manon Lescaut a laissé une trace durable dans la littérature française. Peu de romans n'ont été aussi loués et aussi critiqués que ce chef-d'oeuvre rempli de passion, de douleur et d'amour. Le drame touchant vécu par le fripon des Grieux et la catin Manon parvient à éviter la réprobation des lecteurs grâce au caractère admirable qui caractérise les passions dans ce court récit si naturel et si vraisemblable qui se déroule avec une rapidité qui tranche avec le reste de l'oeuvre de Prévost.
