Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

The Devil in the Flesh is so assured that one wonders how [Radiguet] would have written in maturity.' --The Guardian

'...a triumph of the poetic intelligence: a masterpiece...' --New Staetesman

He belonged to the solemn race of men whose lives unfold too quickly to their close. --Jean Cocteau

Reseña del editor:

The Devil in the Flesh, one of the finest, most delicate love stories ever written, is set in Paris during the last year of the First World War. The narrator, a boy of 16, 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.
