«Le Bal du comte d'Orgel» is the novel by Raymond Radiguet, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (190 pages, in French).
François de Séryeuse strikes up a friendship with Count d'Orgel and his wife Mahaut, and soon falls silently in love with her. The confusion of feelings and the count's reaction disrupt the harmony of the triangle. Radiguet portrays jealousy, desire and the masks of high society, where an apparent chastity conceals the most unsettling passion.
The novel was originally published in 1924. This French edition includes a preface by Jean Cocteau and is part of the Le Livre de Poche collection, number 435.
For readers of twentieth-century French classics and of short novels focused on love relationships and the psychology of characters.
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.
