«Le diable au corps» is the novel by French writer Raymond Radiguet, published by Magnard in paperback (188 pages, in French).
Set in 1917, it tells of the forbidden love between a fifteen-year-old adolescent and Marthe, a nineteen-year-old married woman whose husband is fighting at the front. The relationship, on the home front of the First World War, allows Radiguet to portray premature maturity, betrayal and the disintegration of the family and social institutions.
Novel originally published in 1923; this edition belongs to Magnard's Classiques & contemporains collection.
Edition designed for secondary and high school students approaching French literature in the original version.
