Segundo Radiguet: Romance de amor casto, mas tão escabroso quanto o romance menos casto. A cena da festa, em que Mahaut assume a humilhação do marido, e é entendida por Naramouf, é brilhante. Adoro o final: “De pé sobre a moldura da porta, Anne estava belo. Não cumpria um dever de grandiosa frivolidade quando, retirando-se sempre de frente, empregou sem se dar conta, com um gesto régio de cabeça, a frase dos hipnotizadores: E agora, Mahaut, durma! Eu o quero.” I read 'The Devil in the Flesh' and believed it to be a good book, though the work of an eager young man and generally lacking in the distance and maturity one likes to see most in a novelist. 'Count d'Orgel' has both, and is a fascinating story; the love affair is never consumated, but all the attitudes and thoughts and feelings are perfectly rendered in intimate detail: the reader resides in the heads of the protagonists, and rarely has there been a more interesting place to be. Raymond Radiguet, who died when he was 20 years old, was genious. He had a lot of influence on some Japanese writers around World War Ⅱ, and among the most famous writers who adored Radiguet very much was Yukio Mishima. When he was a student in Tokyo under the war, he idolized Radiguet, and thought he also would write a masterpiece like this book of Radiguet's when he was a teenager, and after having written, he was thinking he would die. But, he didn't die and survived the war. Soon he was recovered from the Radiguet disease by reading Ogai Mori's works. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Count d'Orgel is handsome, charming, and carefree, a model of cool aristocratic aplomb. His wife, the Countess, is beautiful and pure and loves her husband more than anything in the world. But from the moment the d'Orgels meet and befriend the clever young François de Séryeuse backstage at the circus, all three of these supremely civilized and witty people are caught up in an ever more intricate and seductive dance of deception and self-deception. At Count d'Orgel's masquerade ball, the real disguises are those of the human heart. Completed just before Raymond Radiguet's death at the age of twenty, Count d'Orgel's Ball is a love story that is as disturbing as it is delicious. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

François de Séryeuse, jeune homme tranquille et raffiné, fait par hasard la connaissance du comte d'Orgel, mondain à la frivolité grandiose » et de sa femme, Mahaut. Il devient leur ami mais François aime Mahaut. Ayant jusqu'ici mené de front le devoir et l'amour, Mahaut, de son côté, se méprend d'abord sur le sentiment que lui inspire François. Couvé, nourri,
grandi dans l'ombre, ce sentiment finit par se faire reconnaître; elle doit s'avouer, non sans effroi, qu'elle aime François...
Dans ce roman d'amour chaste, aussi scabreux que le roman le moins chaste, selon l'auteur lui-même, les coeurs humains sont percés à jour avec une implacable lucidité.
Raymond Radiguet est mort à vingt ans, ayant écrit deux romans:
"Le Diable au corps, chef-d'oeuvre de promesses, et les promesses tenues : Le Bal du comte d'Orgel. Le seul honneur que je réclame est d'avoir donné pendant sa vie à Raymond Radiguet la place illustre que lui vaudra sa mort..
Jean Cocteau
