He is generally considered the model for 'LUI' in Diderot's fragmented novel the \u003cem\u003eNeveu de Rameau\u003c\/em\u003e, written some time after 1761. In addition to this, his travel memoirs, \u003cem\u003eLe Cosmopolite\u003c\/em\u003e (1750), are a recognized source of Voltaire's \u003cem\u003eCandide \u003c\/em\u003e(1759). Today, Monbron's novel on prostitution \u003cem\u003eMargot la ravaudeuse\u003c\/em\u003e (1753) (or \u003cem\u003eMargot, the stocking darner\u003c\/em\u003e) is his best known work. Widely read in France (where it has appeared in four separate editions since 1990), and moreover translated since the eighteenth century into other European languages, \u003cem\u003eMargot \u003c\/em\u003ehas never been adequately made available to English-speaking readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Langille's new translation brings \u003cem\u003eMargot la ravaudeuse\u003c\/em\u003e for the first time to students of eighteenth-century literature, and most especially to those interested in that intriguing sub-genre known as 'prostitution narrative'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50373101093101,"sku":"9781781881897","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/Vkjk5xtkVW9781781881897.webp?v=1785515358","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/margot-la-ravaudeuse-margot-the-stocking-darner-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
