Robert Redford, Robert Rich, Rachel Riley... No, I choose:
Raymond Radiguet (1903 – 1923), French novelist and poet. In 1923, Radiguet published his first and most famous novel, Le Diable au corps (The Devil in the Flesh), the story of a young married woman who has an affair with a 16-year-old boy while her husband is away fighting at the front.  The fine cover for the Finnish translation. (BTW, Keltainen Kirjasto, Yellow Library, is a highly respected series of translated literature, founded in the 50's. It has a reputation to publish numerous Nobelists even before they win the prize.)
