Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE (1894-1961), novelist.
Autograph letter signed "LF Destouches", accompanied by an autograph note, to a "dear friend", 2 pp. in-4, [February 1939].
Céline's antisemitic obsessions. "I take the liberty of passing on to you ad usum delphini!... a few small clippings... interesting perhaps... Yours sincerely LF Destouches". The attached note contains the list of articles found by Céline in the Sunday 26 February 1939 issue of l'Action Française: "This issue of l'AF of 26 February seems interesting to me because it reproduces our case more or less exactly, in the same issue.
- on the front page. 5th column charges warmongers (Des nouvelles...)
- on the second page. 2nd column (The Jewish conquest)".
The first article, entitled "Des Nouvelles de MM. de Rothschild" was written by Charles Maurras. The second article, signed "G.L.", lists the Jews elected to the Chambre syndicale de la Meunerie de Paris.
