Published in 1731 it is the seventh and final volume of Mémoires et aventures d'un homme de qualité Memoirs and Adventures of a Man of Quality. The story set in France and Louisiana in the early eighteenth century follows the hero the Chevalier des Grieux and his lover Manon Lescaut. Controversial in its time the work was banned in France upon publication. Despite this it became very popular and pirated editions were widely distributed. In a subsequent 1753 edition the Abbé Prévost toned down some scandalous details and injected more moralizing disclaimers.<br/><br/>Seventeen-year-old Des Grieux studying philosophy at Amiens comes from a noble and landed family but forfeits his hereditary wealth and incurs the disappointment of his father by running away with Manon on her way to a convent. In Paris the young lovers enjoy a blissful cohabitation while Des Grieux struggles to satisfy Manon's taste for luxury. He acquires money by borrowing from his unwaveringly loyal friend Tiberge and by cheating gamblers. On several occasions Des Grieux's wealth evaporates by theft in a house fire etc. prompting Manon to leave him for a richer man because she cannot stand the thought of living in penury.<br/><br/>The two lovers finally end up in New Orleans to which Manon has been deported as a prostitute where they pretend to be married and live in idyllic peace for a while. But when Des Grieux reveals their unmarried state to the Governor and asks to be wed with Manon the Governor's nephew sets his sights on winning Manon's hand. In despair Des Grieux challenges the Governor's nephew to a duel and knocks him unconscious. Thinking he had killed the man and fearing retribution the couple flee New Orleans and venture into the wilderness of Louisiana hoping to reach an English settlement. Manon dies of exposure and exhaustion the following morning and after burying his beloved Des Grieux is eventually taken back to France by Tiberge.<br/><br/>Maurice Leloir 1853-1940 was a French illustrator watercolourist draftsman printmaker writer and collector.
