RADIGUET (Raymond). Le Diable au corps. Paris, Grasset, "Le - Lot 234
RADIGUET (Raymond). Le Diable au corps. Paris, Grasset, "Le Roman", 1923, in-12, cherry half-maroquin with corners, 5-rib spine, author, title, year and head gilt, covers and spine cons. First edition. Press copy, marked S.P. by hand. Attached is a dispatch on a cut-out flyleaf: "to Pierre Drieu [La Rochelle] / in friendship / Raymond Radiguet / March 1923". "Le Diable au corps", a great novel of adolescence and war, was hailed on its release by the most famous writers of the day, from Cocteau to Mauriac. By romanticizing an adventure with no future, Raymond Radiguet (1903-1923) brought to its supreme point of elegance the rigorous clarity of the French analytical narrative. The only novel to appear in his lifetime, "Le Diable au corps" is one of the few books in which, beyond the scandalous success of its publication, our century has durably recognized itself. A fine copy.
