Death on the installment plan by
Louis-Ferdinand Céline(
Book
)
326 editions published between 1936 and 2017 in 11 languages and held by 2,901 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Death on the Installment Plan is a companion volume to Louis-Ferinand Céline's earlier novel Journey to the End of Night. Published in rapid succession in the middle 1930s, these two books shocked European literatue 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 third novel, first published in 1944 but dealing with events taking place during the First World War, Guignol's Band follows the narrator's meanderings through London after he has been demobilized due to a war injury.

Fable for another time = Férie pour une autre fois I by
Louis-Ferdinand Céline(
Book
)
53 editions published between 1952 and 2012 in 3 languages and held by 595 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The tale of a man imprisoned and reviled by his own countrymen, the Fable follows its character's decline from virulent hatred to near madness as a result of his violent frustration with the hypocrisy and banality of his fellow human beings. In part because of the story's clear link to his own case - and because of the legal and political difficulties this presented - Celine was compelled to push his famously elliptical, brilliantly vitriolic language to new and extraordinary extremes in Fable for Another Time. The resulting linguistic and stylistic innovation make this work stand out as one of the most original and revealing literary undertakings of its time."--Jacket

)
23 editions published between 1959 and 2006 in 3 languages and held by 396 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Quand Céline rencontre les dieux et revisite la mythologie, quand il met en scène son imaginaire, on assiste à un spectacle total où l'amour, la jalousie, les sons et les lumières se mêlent en une sarabande extravagante d'invention et de drôlerie. Et Céline n'est jamais loin de la scène. Ne serait-ce pas lui-même qui parle ainsi du dieu Mars : «En musique formidable, il rémoule, rémoule... Je vous roule tous dans la farine ! Voilà son invective finale.»--Quatrième de couverture
