CELINE LOUIS FERDINAND: (1894-1961) French Novelist. Known as Celine, being his real name Destouches, a controversial writer because of his antisemitism. A good A.L.S., with his initials `LFC´, two pages, folio, Copenhagen, 12th September 1947, to Charles Deshayes, in French. Celine states in part `As far as I am concerned, in the current conditions, nothing to say - nothing to do.. My enemies are identified. They hold the power and that is all. They do not care at all about arguments… but the main point is not at all there. Shaking my own story I aggravate my case. I have served enough as Punchinello.. (''Polichinelle'')´. Further saying `The Silence - The military matters dominate everything on this planet.. these persons are preparing a new war… crowds must be amused between wars.´ Accompanied by the original envelope postmarked and post-stamped. Folded, with very small tear to the fold and small corner creases. G £1200-2000 Charles Deshayes, French Journalist in Lyon, friend and correspondent of Celine.
