Le Bal du comte d'Orgel
1920. Mahaut d'Orgel ne sait aimer que sagement, tendrement. Rien ne semble pouvoir la distraire de son amour pour le comte d'Orgel. Et pourtant, elle s'éprend de François, jeune homme que le comte a introduit dans le cercle de leurs amis intimes, le préférant rapidement à tous les autres pour partager escapades à la campagne et folles soirées.
Bal masqué. Jeux de dupes. L'équivoque s'installe peu à peu. Entre Mahaut et François, les silences ont valeur d'aveux, les soupirs sont autant de baisers rêvés.

Raymond Radiguet
Raymond Radiguet (French: ; 18 June 1903 – 12 December 1923) was a French novelist and poet. His two novels are notable for their psychological complexity and classical aesthetics, as well as for their controversial subject matter. Radiguet died unexpectedly at the age of twenty after contracting typhoid fever.
Radiguet completed his best-known novel, Le Diable au corps (1923), at the age of seventeen. A succès de scandale upon its publication, the novel is a semi-autobiographical account of an affair with the wife of a soldier during World War I. A second novel, Le Bal du comte d'Orgel (1924), was published posthumously.
Radiguet associated with many of the important artists of his time, including composers such as Erik Satie and Georges Auric, painters such as Modigliani and Picasso, and writers such as Max Jacob. Most notable among these connections was his intense, likely romantic relationship with Jean Cocteau.
