«Le Diable au corps» is the novel by Raymond Radiguet, published by Folio in paperback (192 pages, in French).
Set in 1918, it tells the romance between François, a young student, and Marthe, a woman whose fiancé is fighting at the front during World War I. It is an absolute love in the face of the incomprehension of neighbors and family, but also a portrait of the anguish and unconscious cruelty of one who is not yet an adult.
Originally published in 1923, this edition from the Folio classique collection includes a preface by André Berne-Joffroy.
For readers of twentieth-century French classics and love stories with a wartime backdrop.
Raymond Radiguet was a French novelist and poet. His two novels, noted for their explicit themes and unique style and tone, were praised by many of the greatest writers of the time. He died unexpectedly at the age of twenty.
