Autographs CÉLINE (Louis-Ferdinand) Autograph letter to his friend Paul Chambrillon, dramatic critic and gastronomic chronicler, dated May 1st, quoting Marlowe, English author contemporary of Shakespeare, A4 sheet, one written page (7 lines). Signed LD (Louis-Ferdinad Céline Destouche). Louis-Ferdinand Auguste Destouches, Céline, is one of the most translated and diffused French writers in the world, after Marcel Proust. His work is however the object of violent polemics because of his hateful anti-Semitism. His particular writing, his realism and his style made him a very important writer considered as one of the greatest innovators of the literature of the XXth century; his marvelous novel Journey at the end of the night (1932) was rewarded by the Renaudot prize. Paul Chambrillon was notably the editor of Théâtre Magazine. In addition to his numerous contributions to magazines during several decades, he published a few works. His name remains especially attached to Louis-Ferdinand Céline, of whom he is considered one of the specialists, and to his Anthology Céline, a double CD which is completed by a booklet he co-authored with Jean d'Ormesson and Albert Zbinden, and which gathers most of the recordings he made during the author's lifetime.
