Light Usage, Tiny Chip At Upper Corner Of Front Cover, No Reading Creases. Per Wikipedia, Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches ( 1894 - 1961), Better Known By The Pen Name Louis-Ferdinand Céline , Was A French Novelist, Polemicist And Physician. His First Novel Journey To The End Of The Night (1932) Won The Prix Renaudot But Divided Critics Due To The Author's Pessimistic Depiction Of The Human Condition And His Writing Style Based On Working Class Speech. In Subsequent Novels Such As Death On The Installment Plan (1936), Guignol's Band (1944) And Castle To Castle (1957) Céline Further Developed An Innovative And Distinctive Literary Style. Maurice Nadeau Wrote: "What Joyce Did For The English Language?What The Surrealists Attempted To Do For The French Language, Céline Achieved Effortlessly And On A Vast Scale." From 1937 Céline Wrote A Series Of Antisemitic Polemical Works In Which He Advocated A Military Alliance With Nazi Germany. He Continued To Publicly Espouse Antisemitic Views During The German Occupation Of France, And After The Allied Landing In Normandy In 1944 He Fled To Germany And Then Denmark Where He Lived In Exile. He Was Convicted Of Collaboration By A French Court In 1951, But Was Pardoned By A Military Tribunal Soon After. He Returned To France Where He Resumed His Careers As A Doctor And Author. Céline Is Widely Considered To Be One Of The Greatest French Novelists Of The Twentieth Century (Which Says A Lot About French Novelists), But Remains A Controversial Figure In France Due To His Antisemitism And Activities During The Second World War.

Louis Ferdinand Celine was a French author of Journey to the End of the Night and Death on the Installment Plan. He would influence Kurt Vonnegut, Charles Bukowski, and William S. Burroughs. "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
