Le Regent Mustel Histoire de Manon Lescaut Et Du Chevalier Des Grieux

Paris, Librairie Nouvelle; Librairie de Garnier Freres, 1856 - 1858. Leather. Two works, bound as one, by Alexandre Dumas fils, and L'Abbe Prevost. 'Manon Lescaut' is a French novel about the Chevalier des Greuix and his lover, Manon Lescaut. The novel follows their affair through moves to Paris and New Orleans. 'La Regent Mustel' is a scarce novel by the prolific author Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas, fils, 1824 – 1895, was a French author and dramatist. He was the illegitimate son of Alexandre Dumas, père, also a writer and playwright. During 1831 his father legally recognized him and ensured that the young Dumas received the best education possible at the Institution Goubaux and the Collège Bourbon. At that time, the law allowed the elder Dumas to take the child away from his mother. Her agony inspired Dumas fils to write about tragic female characters. In almost all of his writings, he emphasized the moral purpose of literature. It was as dramatist that Dumas was most successful. During 1874, he was admitted to the Académie française and in 1894 he was awarded the Légion d'honneur. Antoine François Prevost, 1697 – 1763, usually known simply as the Abbe Prevost, was a French author and novelist. Prevost was educated at the Jesuit school of Hesdin, and in 1713 became a novice of the order in Paris, pursuing his studies at the same time at the college in La Fleche. At the end of 1716 he left the Jesuits to join the army, but soon tired of military life, and returned to Paris. He joined the learned community of the Benedictines of St Maur. He took his vows at Jumieges in 1721 after a year's novitiate, and in 1726 took priest's orders at St Germer de Flaix. He left the abbey without leave in 1728, and fled to England. He left England for the Netherlands, and it was during this time that Prevost began to publish his works. He was not reconciled with the Benedictines until 1734. In 1735 he was dispensed from residence in a monastery by becoming almoner to the Prince de Conti, and in 1754 obtained the priory of St Georges de Gesnes. He continued to produce novels and translations from the English, and, with the exception of a brief exile spent in Brussels and Frankfurt, he resided for the most part at Chantilly until his death. In the original half calf binding with cloth to the boards. Externally, smart. Light wear to the extremities. Minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned with scattered spots. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
