Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. This is the 1945 Reprint edition published by The Heritage Press of "The Story of Manon Lescaut and the Chevalier des Grieux" by The Abbé Prévost D'Exiles. The story was translated by Helen Waddell, and the illustrations, including frontispiece and title page line drawing were done by Pierre Brissaud. The book is quite lovely, issued in a quarter-bound format: paper-covered boards with dramatically colored marbled effect - and a lush-looking, brown, faux-leather spine; the spine has gilt lettering against a dark brown panel, bordered by a thin gilt thin. The top edge of the text-block is dyed a reddish brown. Measuring approximately 7" x 9 3/4", and having xiv + 155 pages, this elegant book would add a handsome decorative effect to your room - to say nothing of the pleasure to be derived from reading this French story of lost love and society's more dubious pleasures. It is a classic 'bildungsroman' (a coming-of-age story). ******************************************** This book is marvelously well preserved : bright and attractive with near-negligible signs of handling.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Illustrated Edition. SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR! "The Story of Manon Lescaut and the Chevalier des Grieux" by Abbe Prevost D'Exiles. Published in 1935 by the Heritage Press. SUPER RARE to find this signed version! (I could not find another one for sale). SIGNED by Illustrator Pierre Brissaud. "This is a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from early 18th-century Paris - with its theatres, assemblies, and gaming-houses - via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement in the treeless wastes of Louisiana. It is one of the great love stories, and also one of the most enigmatic: how reliable a witness is Des Grieux, Manon's lover, whose tale he narrates? Is Manon a thief and a whore, the image of love itself, or a thoroughly modern woman? Prevost is careful to leave the ambiguities unresolved, and to lay bare the disorders of passion."
