"Le Diable au Corps: Roman" by Raymond Radiguet is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the experiences of a young boy during World War I, exploring themes of love, youth, and the impact of the war on personal relationships. The protagonist's feelings of innocence are complicated as he navigates a world transformed by conflict and the budding complexities of adolescent desire. The opening of the novel introduces the narrator, reflecting on his experiences as a child just before and during the war. He shares memories of his early infatuations, particularly with a girl named Carmen and later with Marthe, highlighting his youthful naivety and the chaos of wartime France. As he recounts moments of camaraderie with his siblings and their mischief, he captures the unsettling juxtaposition of childhood innocence with the bleak backdrop of an impending conflict, foreshadowing deeper emotional entanglements and the loss of innocence that the war will bring. The tension of youthful exploration against the severity of the wartime environment sets the stage for the character's development in the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
