Le bal du comte d'Orgel
Dans le Paris des années folles, deux étudiants, François de Séryeuse et le Comte Anne d'Orgel se lient d'amitié. Jusqu'au jour où Séryeuse rencontre la Comtesse Mahaut, et en tombe follement amoureux. Le Bal du Comte d'Orgel a été publié à titre posthume, Raymond Radiguet ayant été emporté par une fière typhoïde peu de temps après la rédaction du roman. D'inspiration dix-huitièmiste, ce récit d'amour moral met en valeur une écriture de la psychologie où l'auteur révèle les clefs des raisonnements et des comportements des personnages.

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.
