Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches (27 May 1894 – 1 July 1961), a French novelist, pamphleteer and physician. The name Céline was the first name of his grandmother. He developed a new style of writing that modernized French literature. Céline's best-known work is Voyage au bout de la nuit, translated into English most recently by Ralph Manheim. It violated many of the literary conventions of the time, using the rhythms and, to a certain extent, the vocabulary of slang and vulgar speech in a more consistent and occasionally more difficult way than earlier writers who had made similar attempts (notably Émile Zola), in the tradition of François Villon. The book became a success, but Céline was not awarded the Prix Goncourt, despite strong support; the award went to Guy Mazeline's novel Les Loups (The Wolves). The voting was controversial enough to become the subject of a book (Goncourt 32 by Eugène Saccomano, 1999).In 1936 Céline published Mort à crédit (Death on the Installment Plan), giving innovative, chaotic, and antiheroic visions of human suffering. Here, he extensively used ellipses scattered throughout the text to enhance the rhythm and to emphasise the style of speech. In both books he showed himself to be a great stylistic innovator and a masterful storyteller. French author Jean-Paul Sartre publicly praised Céline during this period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The torrent contains following books, in a mixture of ePUB and Mobi: * Castle to Castle -- EPUB * Death on the Installment Plan -- Mobi * Journey to the End of the Night -- ePUB * North -- Mobi * Rigadoon -- Mobi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read the following articles, interviews, and SEED the torrent, and don't forget to give FEEDBACK!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis-Ferdinand_C%C3%A9line http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4502/the-art-of-fiction-no-33-louis-ferdinand-celine http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2013/05/louis-ferdinand-celine-anti- semitism.html http://www.counter-currents.com/2011/05/remembering-celine/
