«Féerie pour une autre fois» is the novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, published by Folio in paperback (640 pages, in French).
Céline conceived this novel as a second Journey to the End of the Night, with the ambition of astonishing the public as much as that 1932 work. This edition brings together for the first time in a single volume the two parts of the text, Féerie pour une autre fois and Normance, in line with the author's initial intention.
1995 edition from the Folio collection, with an unpublished preface by Henri Godard. The two parts originally appeared in 1952 and 1954.
For readers of twentieth-century French literature and followers of Céline's narrative; a modern classic of French letters.
Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches, better known by the pen name Louis-Ferdinand Céline, was 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."
