Mentre la prima guerra mondiale giunge al suo ultimo anno, inizia una relazione amorosa illecita tra un ragazzo di sedici anni e una giovane donna sposata con un soldato al fronte. Si incontrano segretamente nel suo appartamento alla periferia di Parigi, nei campi di grano e sulle rive del fiume. Quando lei riceve lettere dal marito, le bruciano insieme. Inebriati dalla passione, non riescono a sopportare di porre fine alla loro relazione, anche quando ciò provoca uno scandalo tra amici e vicini. Invece, si precipitano verso la tragedia. Scritto in una prosa essenziale e ossessionante quando Raymond Radiguet era ancora un adolescente, questo romanzo semi-autobiografico è diventato un best-seller immediato e il suo autore è stato acclamato come un genio prima della sua tragica morte all'età di vent'anni. Esprimendo tutta l'angoscia e la gioia dell'adolescenza, è un'opera di immagini sorprendenti e sottile bellezza. Tradotto da Robert Baldick con un'introduzione di Fay Weldon.

Raymond Radiguet (1903–1923) was born near Paris. He dropped out of high school in order to pursue his interests in journalism and literature, and associated himself with the Modernist set, befriending Picasso, Max Jacob, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and especially Jean Cocteau, who became his mentor. His first novel, Le Diable au corps (The Devil in the Flesh), was published in 1923 and became a runaway bestseller in France. Radiguet died of typhoid fever the same year, at the age of twenty. His second novel, Le bal du Comte d'Orgel (Count d'Orgel's Ball) was published posthumously in 1924.
