However, his taste for the wordly life led him to flee the cloister in 1728 after which he spent the next six years in exile in Holland. He began writing in 1728 and Mamon Lescaut casued a sensation on its publication in 1731. He died in 1763.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The young Chevalier des Grieux recounts the tragic story of his passion for Manon and betrayal at her hands. Capricious, mercenary, alert to virtue but alive to pleasure, Manon is one of literature's "femmes fatales".
