Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Celines first novel, Journey to the End of the Night was first published in 1932, it created an instant scandal, being extravagantly praised by its supporters and savagely attacked by its horrified opponents. Four years later came the sequel, Death on Credit. Both were a new kind of novel, frank about the authors thoughts and actions in ways that readers had never encountered, ultra-realistic and full of incidents that could not possibly be true to life and characters that stretched the imagination.In Death on Credit, Ferdinand Bardamu, Celines alter ego, is a doctor in Paris, treating the poor who seldom pay him but who take every advantage of his availability. The action is not continuous but goes back in time to earlier memories and often moves into fantasy, especially in Bardamus sexual escapades; the style becomes deliberately rougher and sentences disintegrate to catch the flavour of the teeming world of everyday Parisian tragedies, the struggle to make a living, illness, venereal disease, the sordid stories of families whose destiny is governed by their own stupidity, malice, lust and greed. This fascinating book by one of the greatest twentieth-century novelists is an unforgettable experience for the reader.

Paperback. Condition: Good. [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksesy.] Softcover. French text. Shelf wear. Spine taped. Edges creased. Contemporary signature of Macksey on front end page. Louis Ferdinand Celine was a French author of Journey to the End of the Night and Death on the Installment Plan. He would influence Kurt Vonnegut, Charles Bukowski, and William S. Burroughs. "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
