Translated from the French by John H. P. Marks. 593 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe France Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Death on the Installment Plan is a companion volume to Louis-Ferinand CEline's earlier novel Journey to the End of Night. Published in rapid succession in the middle 1930s these two books shocked European literature and world consciousness. Nominally fiction but more rightly called creative confessions they told of the author's childhood in excoriating Paris slums of serves in the mud wastes of World War I and African jungles. Mixing unmitigated despair with Gargantuan comedy they also created a new style in which invective and obscenity were laced with phrases of unforgettable poetry. CEline's influence revolutionized the contemporary approach to fiction. Under a cloud for a period his work is now acknowledged as the forerunner of today's black humor. inventory #43220 hardcover

In the rare dust wrapper which has loss at the head of the spine and to the top of the front panel. A good wrapper with a little wear and edge wear and creasing. The second novel by Louis-Ferdinand Celine following his explosive debut 'Journey to the End of the Night'. The novel is semi-autobiographical tracing the miserable childhood and adolescence of Ferdinand Céline's fictional alter ego in working-class Paris. It portrays poverty humiliation illness and family dysfunction with brutal honesty and dark comedy. Céline's style is revolutionary: fragmented sentences slang ellipses and a spoken-voice rhythm that broke sharply from traditional literary French. Though controversial partly due to Céline's later political writings the novel is considered a landmark of 20th-century modernist literature for its raw emotional intensity and stylistic innovation.

193812070Boston: Little Brown and Company 1938. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Original dark blue cloth slightly worn at head and foot of spine otherwise an excellent copy. First American edition. A French writer and doctor Louis-Ferdinand Destouches 1894-1961 adopted the pseudonym Céline when he wrote his first novel Voyage au bout de la nuit. He here looks back on his Paris childhood depicting the tale of a young boy struggling with his parents and life. These first two novels are a nihilistic vision of human suffering failure and pessimism. <br /> <br /> Céline wrote three virulently anti-Semitic pamphlets between 1937 and 1941 and after WWII was accused of Nazi collaboration. He fled France to live in Germany joining members of the Vichy Government and other French collaborators. While there he treated refugees of the regime. Convicted in absentia in a civil court in France to one year of imprisonment and declared a national disgrace Céline did not return to France until after his pardon in 1951. Céline’s later works were badly received as his reputation as a writer had been shadowed his anti-Semitism and anti-Communism. He is now generally regarded as one of the most important and influential as well as controversial twentieth century French novelists. Little, Brown and Company unknown
