The Devil in the Flesh ~ Raymond Radiguet
Medium soft cover
Very good condition
One of the finest, most delicate love stories ever written, The Devil in the Flesh is set in Paris during the last year of the First World War. The narrator, a boy of sixteen, tells of his love affair with Martha Lacombe, a young woman whose soldier husband is away at the Front. With an accuracy of insight that is almost ruthless, he describes his conflicting emotions, the pride of an adolescent on the verge of manhood and the pain of a child thrust too fast into maturity.
The liaison soon becomes a scandal, and their friends, horrified and incredulous, refuse to accept what is happening even when the affair reaches its tragic climax.
