Bella Del Señor by Albert Cohen
A charismatic Jewish diplomat at the League of Nations embarks on an intense, all-consuming affair with a beautiful married woman; the novel traces their delirious courtship, sexual excess and mounting jealousy, showing how passion, pride and social hypocrisy gradually corrode the lovers and the bureaucratic world around them, while satirically probing questions of identity, love, loneliness and the limits of devotion.
