Couturier Paris s. d. ca 1900 10.30 x 15.50 cm une photographie au format carte cabinet Photographic portrait of Auguste Destouches paternal grandfather of Louis-Ferdinand Céline after a painting of the period in cabinet card format on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from J. Couturier studio. Cardboard slightly trimmed at lower margin. Handwritten caption on verso. The literature professor from Le Havre is among the recurring characters in Céline's works; this model whose career as an agrégé long resonated with the aspiring writer is powerfully evoked in the preface to Guignol's band 1944: « Faut que je vous avoue mon grand-père Auguste Destouches par son nom qu'en faisait lui de la rhétorique qu'était même professeur pour ça au lycée du Havre et brillant vers 1855. C'est dire que je me méfie atroce ! Si j'ai l'inclination innée ! Je possède tous ses écrits de grand-père ses liasses ses brouillons des pleins tiroirs ! Ah ! redoutables ! Il faisait les discours du Préfet je vous assure dans un sacré style ! Si il l'avait l'adjectif sûr ! s'il la piquait bien la fleurette ! Jamais un faux pas ! Mousse et pampre ! Fils des Gracques ! la Sentence et tout ! En vers comme en prose ! Il remportait toutes les médailles de l'Académie Française. Je les conserve avec émotion. C'est mon ancêtre ! Si je la connais un peu la langue et pas d'hier comme tant et tant ! Je le dis tout de suite ! dans les finesses ! J'ai débourré tous mes ""effets"" mes ""litotes"" et mes ""pertinences"" dedans mes couches. Ah ! j'en veux plus ! je m'en ferais crever ! Mon grand-père Auguste est d'avis. Il me le dit de là-haut il me l'insuffle du ciel au fond. ""Enfant pas de phrases !."" » ""I must confess to you about my grandfather Auguste Destouches by name who practiced rhetoric who was even a professor for that at the Le Havre lycée and brilliant around 1855. That's to say I'm terribly wary! If I have the innate inclination! I possess all my grandfather's writings his bundles his drafts whole drawers full! Ah! formidable! He wrote the Prefect's speeches I assure you in a hell of a style! How sure he was with his adjectives! how well he turned a phrase! Never a false step! Moss and vine! Sons of the Gracchi! the Sentence and all! In verse as in prose! He won all the medals of the French Academy. I keep them with emotion. He's my ancestor! If I know the language a bit and not since yesterday like so many others! I say so right away! in the subtleties! I've purged all my 'effects' my 'litotes' and my 'pertinences' in my diapers. Ah! I want no more of it! It would kill me! My grandfather Auguste agrees. He tells me so from above he breathes it into me from heaven deep down. 'Child no phrases!.'"" Guignol's band Denoël 1944 J.

Scuffing on covers. Some corners slightly bumped. Paper more fragile on the first leaves of volume IV. Destouches' plays had undeniable success in their time some were immediately adopted by the Académie française. Destouches forms a figure of early eighteenth-century theater. Here is what Voltaire writes of him in ""Le siècle de Louis XIV"": ""One does not find in his plays the strength and gaiety of Regnard still less those depictions of the human heart that naturalness that true wit that excellent comedy which makes the merit of the inimitable Molière; but he has not failed to make a reputation after them. He has some plays that have been successful although the comedy in them is somewhat forced. He has at least avoided the genre of comedy that is merely languid of that kind of bourgeois tragedy which is neither tragic nor comic a monster born of the impotence of authors and the satiety of the public after the golden days of the century of Louis XIV. His comedy Le Glorieux is his best work and will probably remain in the theater although the character of Le Glorieux is it is said flawed; but the other characters appear to be treated superbly."" The fourth volume published in 1745 contains the entrance speech to the Académie française and Fontenelle's response. Chez Prault père unknown
