DEVIL IN THE FLESH by Raymond Radiguet
From the back cover:
"With extraordinary frankness and understanding, this famous French novel reveals the heart-rending romance of a seventeen-year-old student and a young woman who is married to a man she does not love. A moving masterpiece of the eustasies and anguish of young love, Devil in the Flesh has been hailed by critics as a brilliant portrayal of searing passion."
"The born artist has sternly shaped the dark stuff of adolescence into pure literature...It is cruel with the egotism of youth. But as literature, it has the beauty of experience fully realized and simply recorded." - New York Herald Tribune
"Raymond Radiguet wrote Devil in the Flesh when he was seventeen. He died at the age of twenty, leaving only one other published work, The Count's Ball, a novel. A precociously mature work, Devil in the Fesh established Radiguet's place among such literary children of genius as Thomas Chatterton and Arthur Rimbaud."
