Bio:
His fame rests entirely on one work? - Manon Lescaut (1731; in full Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut; Story of the Chevalier of Grieux and of Manon Lescaut?).Originally published as the final installment of a seven-volume novel, Mémoires et aventures dun homme de qualité qui sest retiré du monde (Memories and Adventures of a Man of Quality Who Has Retired from the World), Prévost's Manon Lescaut is the basis of the operas Manon, by Jules Massenet, and Manon Lescaut, by Giacomo Puccini. A classic example of the 18th-century novel of feeling, Manon Lescaut tells the story of a young man of good family who ruins his life for a courtesan.
