Description for Manon Lescaut
Paperback. Penguin, 1949, 1st edn. translated by L.W. Tancock; spine slightly darkened, cover slightly grubby, rest in near-mint condition; 192pp with very faint edge tanning. The memory of such women as Helen and Cleopatra has haunted men down the ages, especially when the evil of their lives and the weakness of men who have succumbed to their spell have been visited by a terrible retribution. Such a woman is Manon Lescaut, whose story has been translated into most of the languages of the western world, whose power over the unfortunate Des Grieux has inspired the operas of Auber, Puccini and Massenet.
