Je me suis assez ennuyé en Bretagne et au surplus je n'étais pas très bien. <strong>Il faut encore que je parle sur Zola le 1er octobre et voilà qui m'achève.

Enfin on se connaît mal. <strong>Nous sommes recouverts d'immondices civilisés</strong>. N'oubliez pas de me donner votre nouvelle adresse.</em><br /><em>Amicalement</em><br /><em>Destouches "</em></p><p><u>A breakaway speech:</u><br />In the summer of 1933 Lucien Descaves approached his friend Céline asking him to deliver a speech in tribute to Zola at the annual Médan pilgrimage. Céline did not hold the naturalist writer in high esteem and it was out of friendship for Descaves that he agreed. Thus on October 1st 1933 before an audience composed of the Parisian literary elite and other notable figures the writer took the floor.<br />Where previous speeches had remained within the expected register of homage Céline's intervention stood in stark contrast — and caused a scandal. The audience had no idea what was coming. Already a master of staging his public persona Céline deliberately chose to go against expectations and handed the floor to Ferdinand Bardamu the protagonist of <em>Journey to the End of the Night</em>. He even hinted at this shift when he said "Good heavens I really don't like Zola at all so I'll talk about myself."<br />Through Bardamu Céline delivered a dark and deeply critical vision of contemporary French society. Though the speech begins as a genuine tribute to the father of the <em>Rougon-Macquart</em> series it soon gives way to the characteristic disillusionment of Céline's universe.<br />The writer clearly signals a definitive break with Zola's naturalism: the Great War had in Céline's eyes discredited the modernist hopes pinned on scientific progress and the promise of a fairer society. In this speech Céline effectively buries the legacy of naturalism that Zola had championed.</p><p><u>Translation of Journey to the End of the Night:</u><br />Published the previous year <em>Journey to the End of the Night</em> had caused a sensation and catapulted Céline to the forefront of the Parisian literary scene. Already translated into several languages he reassured his Dutch translator J.A. Sandfort in a letter dated September 10th demanding that his text be translated in full:<br /><em>"Under no circumstances should there be any abridgment of Journey. I do not want it — not a quarter not a page nor a line </em>…<em>" </em>He added <em>"There are already 10 foreign translations of this book all absolutely complete"</em> <em>Lettres</em> no. 3393.</p><p>1- Violette Nozière 1915–1966 barely 18 years old was arrested accused of poisoning her parents. While her mother was resuscitated her father did not survive. Although her mother initially joined the civil lawsuit she eventually forgave her daughter. Sentenced to death on October 12 1934 — a sentence commuted to life imprisonment on August 29 1945 — Violette Nozière was granted early release on August 29 1945.</p><p>2- Céline attempted to practice medicine privately by opening a practice in Clichy in November 1927 which he quickly closed due to lack of patients. He eventually took a position as a suburban doctor at the Clichy dispensary directed by Grégoire Ichok. Dr. Destouches resigned from the Communist municipality of Clichy on December 10 1937.</p><p>Born in Antwerp in 1905 Évelyne Pollet took the initiative to write to Céline after reading <em>Journey to the End of the Night</em> eventually coming to "know it by heart." They met in May 1933 and became lovers. She went on to write eight novels and collections of short stories including a fictionalized account of her relationship with Céline written in 1942 and published in 1956 under the title <em>Escaliers</em> La Renaissance du livre. Évelyne is also the name of the heroine in <em>La Naissance d'une fée</em> the first of the three ballets in <em>Bagatelles pour un massacre</em>.</p><p><u>Provenance:<br /></u>Private collection</p><p><u>Bibliography:</u><br /><em>Lettres</em> éd.

‎Louis-Ferdinand CELINE - (to Yvette GUILBERT)‎

‎Voyage au bout de la nuit • Journey to the End of the Night‎

‎Paris Paris: Denoël & Steele 1932. Fine. Céline gifts his Voyage to the queen of Paris Music Hall and tries to get her to sing his bawdy tunes Denoël & Steele Paris Paris 1932 12 x 19 cm Broché sous chemise et étui First edition with all first printing  features one of the press copies. Exceptional presentation copy inscribed by the author to the famous singer Yvette Guilbert to whom Céline himself sang and offered one of his scandalous compositions “Katika la putain” Katika the Whore later renamed “À Nœud coulant” With a Slipknot"" ""A madame Yvette Guilbert en témoignage de ma profonde admiration. LFCéline.”  Beneath Céline's inscription the actor Fabrice Luchini added: “A Yvette Guilbert in memoriam. FLuchini” ; and on the half-title actor Jean-François Balmer wrote in turn: “Merci en bon voyage. JFBalmer.” With pasted-in entry tickets to their respective performances of Voyage au bout de la nuit at the Comédie des Champs-Élysées for Luchini and at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre for Balmer. This remarkable presentation copy reveals Céline's consuming passion for the musical attributes of language. Song is omnipresent in Voyage au bout de la nuit from its famous epigraph the well-known Chanson des Gardes suisses which Céline would later claim to have written himself. The book's title derives from one of the song's verses. Céline was also a songwriter and even performed two of his own compositions: “Règlement” and above all “À Nœud coulant” a bawdy tune he first presented as a translation of a Finnish folk song. He composed “À Nœud coulant” after the publication of Voyage during the writing of Mort à Crédit Death on Credit between 1934 and 1936 and recorded it in 1955. Arnaud Marzorati noted Céline’s impossibly deep voice and confessed to being “captivated by his deliberate arrythmia. As if the rhythm of life could be chaotic and not tied to the mere beating of the heart; as if he sought to tell his story with a pulse outside of consensus.” Program May 16 2013 “Les Chansons de Céline” Cité de la musique. But before recording the song himself Céline had the audacity to offer this scandalous song to the great Yvette Guilbert in the 1930s. As Michaël Ferrier notes Céline “would spend his life seeking the friendship of the stars of his time - some now forgotten Guy Berry Max Révol Alfred Pizella others more memorable like Michel Simon or Arletty to whom he dedicated a piece Arletty jeune fille dauphinoise in 1948 many built their careers on operettas both staged and filmed. This passion for song no doubt traces back to Céline’s childhood: the Passage Choiseul where his mother kept a lace shop was home to Offenbach’s Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens and a gramophone dealer.” Télérama special issue June 2011. Céline’s close friend the painter Henri Mahé recounted the memorable evening when Céline unsuccessfully offered “À Nœud Coulant” to the singer. Whether it was on this “musical” occasion that Céline gifted his Voyage to the queen of the Parisian music hall remains unknown: “Why did the great Yvette Guilbert one day invite him to visit her at home He leapt at the chance! She introduced him to Cécile Sorel the unforgettable Célimène. Overjoyed he promptly sang them his brand-new ‘Katika.’ The compliments were brief and tepid barely courteous. No! They had something else in mind. A film a screenplay he was to write based on their ideas: two sisters triumphing on stage… One on official stages across the globe the other in the world’s music halls.” Henri Mahé La Brinquebale avec Céline p. 72.   This extraordinary copy contains inscriptions by two renowned interpreters of Céline’s prose - actors Fabrice Luchini and Jean-François Balmer both of whom have brought to life the musicality of the Voyage.

‎Paris: Denoël & Steele 1932. Fine. Only deluxe presentation copy motivated by ideological conviction Denoël & Steele Paris 1932 12 x 19 cm Relié sous chemise et étui First edition one of the deluxe copies on alfa this one an unnumbered hors commerce only deluxe issue after 10 copies on Arches. Full blue-gray morocco binding spine with five raised bands gilt date at foot yellow box calf doublure watered silk free endpapers original wrappers including spine bound in all edges gilt half morocco chemise in panels wood motif paper boards slipcase edged in morocco wood motif paper boards lined with blue felt outstanding binding signed Hélène Alix.   Unrecorded presentation copy signed and inscribed by Louis-Ferdinand Céline to Belgian pacifist writer Jean Tousseul.   Handsome copy housed in a fine doublure morocco binding by Hélène Alix in perfect condition despite the foxing-prone Alfa paper. Jean Tousseul pen name of Olivier Degée 1890-1944 is one of the most singular figures in Belgian Francophone literature of the interwar period: he was at once a self-taught writer from the working-class world of the Meuse quarries a militant journalist and a committed socialist and pacifist. He served four months in prison in 1918 for his anti-militarist articles receiving at the time the public support of Romain Rolland. Tousseul contributed to Barbusse’s journal Monde and published his work in Paris with the publisher Rieder. By 1932 he was a recognised author in pacifist and proletarian circles on both sides of the Franco-Belgian border. His major novel on the First World War which appeared a few months after Céline’s Voyage springs from the same terrible reckoning: “La Rafale constitutes an objective testimony a powerful and meticulous document on the war and the disarray of minds that resulted from it. … Jean Tousseul condemns recourse to war but fears that it may long remain attached to the flank of a humanity still in the grip of its elementary instincts.”   This analysis by Désiré Denuit might well have been borrowed from the finest studies of Céline’s masterpiece. In 1937 Jean Tousseul was awarded the Prix Triennal de Littérature belge for Le Masque de Tulle. During the war he refused collaboration with the occupying forces and died in 1944.   This unrecorded Céline presentation copy to Jean Tousseul —who does not appear in any Céline biography— on one of the most precious issues of the first edition is nonetheless beyond the promotional and commercial imperatives that motivated the distribution of luxury copies a unique testament to the humanist conviction that presided over the writing of Voyage au bout de la nuit.   “it all began just like that”   Few were those who immediately recognised the importance of the novel. Céline the writer who was still known as Dr Destouches had offered his manuscript to Gallimard Bossart and Figuière before approaching Denoël et Steele. The latter was the only publisher to show genuine enthusiasm—though without the resources to ensure adequate promotion. The initial print run was accordingly cautious: 200 press copies printed on 12 October 1932 followed the next day by 20 on Arches and 95 on Alfa paper according to the printer’s archives. The 3000 “ordinary” copies of the first edition were printed between 15 October and 3 November. It was only after the award of the Prix Renaudot that more than 100000 further copies appeared with the textual variants that are now well documented.   “one can never be sufficiently defiant with words”   Céline sent several press copies to close friends such as Abel Gance to leading critics including Georges Bernanos to figures of influence such as André Breton and to artists he admired among them the singer Yvette Guilbert. Then as the book’s success grew to new acquaintances. He reserved very few deluxe issue copies for his inner circle. These were destined primarily for members of the Prix Goncourt jury and a handful of influential journalists. T Denoël & Steele hardcover‎
