Manon Lescaut (Revised)

In "Manon Lescaut" 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 literauture's great "femmes fatales." With her des Grieux lives in torment; without her, life seems meaningless.
