“Sono diventato, oltre che violentatore, traditore, genocida, uomo delle nevi... quello di cui non bisogna neanche parlare!... non esiste, quest'infame! E non è mai esistito!” È molto doloroso imbattersi in queste parole di Céline mentre lo si sta studiando. Ma lui è andato avanti a lavorare, per quella lingua che amava più di ogni altra cosa, e ha partorito, in mezzo a miseria, malattia, frustrazione, "Féerie pour une autre fois", "La Trilogia germanica" oltre a quel gioiellino che sono gli "Entretiens avec le Professeur Y". Ha scritto fino all'ultimo istante della sua vita. Ha costruito, attraverso una commistione di linguaggio antico e popolare, argot parigino, neologismi e onomatopee, secondo uno style inarrivabile che è esclusivamente il suo, un monumento, una cattedrale all'interno della letteratura francese. La lingua come identità di un paese, di un popolo, questo era il suo sentimento, lingua che lui faceva “cantare”: è la musica che sorregge la sua prosa, che la pervade e la rende così particolare, magica e misteriosa. Autori: Luisa Crismani.

This letter was very partially transcribed in Année Céline 2005. Early November 1950 Gaby Paul had come to visit Céline and Lucette at Klarskovgaard: ""Oh mille mercis à Mme Christensen pour son aimable repas qui réchauffé fit nos délices ! Et puis aussi gratitudes pour tout le soin qu'elle a pris de Mme Gen Paul !. Laquelle ne donne aucune nouvelle. Quelle vacherie encore . Comme c'est amusant ! Je crois qu'elle avait des projets ""journalistiques"" mais que mon attitude l'a désenchantée. """"Oh a thousand thanks to Madame Christensen for her kind meal which reheated was our delight! And also gratitude for all the care she took of Mme Gen Paul!. Who gives no news. What nastiness again. How amusing! I believe she had 'journalistic' projects but my attitude disenchanted her."" Céline also mentions the Swedish writer Ernst Bendz one of the few to defend Céline alongside Paraz: ""Une lettre amusante de Bendz ! Bendz appartient vraiment à l'aristocratie des esprits ! La preuve ! La façon qu'il ""m'estime""!!!""""An amusing letter from Bendz! Bendz truly belongs to the aristocracy of minds! The proof! The way he 'esteems me'!!!"" In 1947 Céline pursued by French justice for his collaborationist involvement was confined in Denmark. It was in May 1948 accompanied by Lucette and Bébert that he arrived at his lawyer Master Thorvald Mikkelsen's home at Klarskovgaard. The latter owned a large property by the Baltic Sea and invited the exile to stay there. On February 21 1950 as part of the épuration the writer was definitively sentenced in absentia by the civic chamber of the Paris Court of Justice for collaboration to one year of imprisonment which he had already served in Denmark. The Swedish Consul General in Paris Raoul Nordling intervened on his behalf with Gustav Rasmussen Danish Foreign Minister and managed to delay his extradition. On April 20 1951 Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour his lawyer since 1948 obtained Céline's amnesty under the title of ""severely disabled veteran of the Great War"" by presenting his file under the name Louis-Ferdinand Destouches without any magistrate making the connection.

Klarskovgaard 8 décembre 1950 21 x 34 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet Autograph letter signed partly unpublished by Louis-Ferdinand Céline addressed to his lawyer Maître Thorvald Mikkelsen. Two pages written in blue ink on a large sheet of white paper; numbered 575 in Célines hand in red pencil at the top left corner. Fold marks from mailing. This letter was only partially transcribed in Année Céline 2005 p. 64. A moving and bitter letter by Céline who had just lost his aunt Amélie the Aunt Hélène of Death on Credit and witnesses the slow disappearance of the world he once knew. The writer finds solace in the memoirs of Élisabeth de Gramont another witness to a bygone era. From his Danish exile Céline learns with sorrow of the death of his Aunt Amélie the last surviving member of the Destouches family: Je viens de perdre à l'hospice d'Angers encore une dernière parente. Although he had not spared his alter ego in Death on Creditthe scandalous Aunt Hélène meets a shameful end trailed by suitors lovers or clientshe recalls: À Saint-Pétersbourg elle est devenue grue. . Elle est venue nous voir au Passage deux fois de suite frusquée superbe comme une princesse et heureuse et tout. Elle a terminé très tragiquement sous les balles dun officier. The real Aunt Amélie had settled in Romania married to a diplomat Zenon Zawirski. Unfortunately reality caught up with fiction: she returned to Paris in utter destitution at the age of 80. Céline arranged for her transfer from the hospice of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Breteuil to the hospital in Angers where she died in December 1950 Que la pauvre femme meure gentiment. Assez de fins tragiques dans la famille ! he had written to Dr. Camus on 11 July 1949. His secretary Marie Canavaggia met her before her arrival in Angers: elle avait par moments des gestes et des expressions qui en éclairs me rappelaient son neveu 13 July 1949. With the last of his family gone Céline reflects on his own end: si ça continue si je rentre jamais en France je foncerai directement au cimetière. Devouring the books his lawyer sent to ease the burden of exile Céline describes his current readings: Le Temps des équipages by Élisabeth de Gramont est un des livres fameux parus vers 1920 ! Lun des « Guides des Snobs » les mieux réussis de lÉpoque. It is striking to imagine Céline delighting in this aristocrats social chronicle so alien to his world: Javais un ami Carré de Rennes étudiant en droit qui lavait appris par cur ! . il sen est établi marchand de tableaux. As a young medical student Céline had indeed crossed paths with Louis Carré later a successful Parisian art dealer who exhibited Paul Klee Juan Gris Le Corbusier and Picasso: il y a fait 10 fois fortune ! Preuve que tous les livres ne sont pas déprimants ! In 1947 pursued by French justice for his collaborationist stance Céline took refuge in Denmark. In May 1948 accompanied by Lucette and Bébert he arrived at the home of his lawyer Maître Thorvald Mikkelsen in Klarskovgaard. Mikkelsen owned a large estate on the Baltic Sea and welcomed the exiled writer to stay. On 21 February 1950 as part of the post-war purge Céline was definitively sentenced in absentia by the Civic Chamber of the Paris Court of Justice to one year in prison for collaboration a sentence already served in Denmark. Raoul Nordling the Swedish consul general in Paris intervened on his behalf with Gustav Rasmussen the Danish Foreign Minister successfully delaying his extradition. On 20 April 1951 Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour his lawyer since 1948 obtained Célines amnesty as a severely disabled veteran of the Great War submitting the case under the name Louis-Ferdinand Destouches without the magistrates making the connection. Céline left Denmark that summer after three years spent in his lawyers home. unknown

Note in passing the play on words with the name of Jules Moch vice-president of the council from 1949 to 1950. He informs Mikkelsen: ""J'ai aussi merde ! un cadeau à vous offrir et que vous accepterez nom de dieu ! parce que c'est un livre en Suédois ! donc scandinave ! donc divin ! donc touchable acceptable recevable non puant."" ""I also have damn! a gift to offer you and which you will accept by God! because it's a book in Swedish! therefore Scandinavian! therefore divine! therefore touchable acceptable receivable non-stinking.""

Autograph manuscript by Louis-Ferdinand Céline 34 sheets of various sizes written in blue and sometimes pink ballpoint pen. Some of the pages are numbered by Céline at top left. The last folio numbered 159 is signed by the writer at the bottom. Two leaves contain previously unpublished passages: the first a few lines long refers to the Professeur. The second leaf numbered 136 features another full-page text on the verso which we did not find in the Professeur Y' or in any of the published works of Céline. Céline refers in this unpublished passage to article 75 of the penal code condemning to the death penalty any French citizen found guilty of intelligence with the enemy. It also mentions a certain ""Me Johann Niels Borggensen"" no doubt a pseudonym for his lawyer Thorvald Mikkelsen: "".supposedly to protect me from police curiosity! holy cow! he was having a ball.when you've got the warrant up your arse crossed out: article 75 anyone can do what they like with you! what a joke! we can do what we like with you.it wouldn't have been Borggensen perhaps someone else would have been worse.give me article 75 and I'll put the whole of France in a Mouse hole for you! and Germany with it! and England such a nag and Europe with it! no bomb needed! H ! Y ! Z ! I'll make you fit the atom into a."" Important set of working manuscripts bearing witness to the writing of Conversations with Professor Y' Céline's true Ars poetica. Since the first part of Féerie pour une autre fois' Fable for Another Time was not as successful as expected Céline wanted to give the release of the second part - Normance - as much publicity as possible and restore his reputation after his years of exile in Germany and Denmark. Instead of writing the usual promotional note prière d'insérer he suggested to publisher Gaston Gallimard this eulogy written in the style of an imaginary interview between himself and Professor Y alias Colonel Réséda a prostatic old man. This zany ""interviouwe"" was published in several parts in the Nouvelle Revue française in 1954 and the finished work through Éditions Gallimard the following year. Céline speaks fervently of his style and his conception of literature and vehemently criticizes the world of letters and public taste. Unlike Céline's other works the genesis of this text crucial to the understanding of his oeuvre is poorly documented and its manuscripts are rare. The Pléiade edition of Celinian novels contains only a few pages of an earlier version very close to the published text. This set of pages covering every passage of the text contains both heavily crossed-out sheets and neatly rewritten notes. It bears witness to the different stages of the writer's work: drafting an initial sheet crossing out and rewriting on the same page then transcribing short passages on separate notes. The last page of the text is extensively crossed out and rewritten resulting in a slightly different version of the published version. The manuscript also contains the famous metaphor of the metro typical of the writer's emotive style compared here to the ""dry language"" of his peers: ""Did you see Have you noticed All caught up in my metro!. what do I leave on the surface. the worst rubbish in cinema!. foreign languages then!. translations!. retranslations of our worst rubbish that they use for their ""parlants"" talking pictures superb foreign languages!. in addition to the psychology! the psychological mumbo jumbo!. all the crap. .
