Louis-Ferdinand Céline -------------------------------------------------------------------- May 27, 1894 -- July 1, 1961 Biography : ---------------------------------- Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches (pronounced [detuʃ]; 27 May 1894 – 1 July 1961), a French novelist, polemicist and physician. His first novel Journey to the End of the Night (1932) won the Prix Renaudot but divided critics due to the author’s pessimistic depiction of the human condition and his writing style based on working class speech. In subsequent novels such as Death on the Installment Plan (1936), Guignol’s Band (1944) and Castle to Castle (1957) Céline further developed an innovative and distinctive literary style. Maurice Nadeau wrote: “What Joyce did for the English language…what the surrealists attempted to do for the French language, Céline achieved effortlessly and on a vast scale.” From : Wikipedia.org Works : ---------------------------------- Author of I Have Always Been an Anarchist (January 01, 1970) Events : ---------------------------------- Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Birth Day : May 27, 1894 Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Death Day : July 01, 1961 Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Added : January 17, 2021 Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Updated : January 10, 2022 About This Textfile : ---------------------------------- Text file generated from : http://revoltlib.com/
