Céline - Voyage au Bout de la Nuit - 1932

Rare and sought-after reprint from the same year as the first edition of October 17, 1932, of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's literary masterpiece (1894-1961). This copy, in fact, presents the same printing errors that appeared in the first issues, such as on page 59 where it reads "maison du Pasteur" which in the new edition of January 12, 1933 will be corrected to "maison du passeur", as well as the letter "m" which is inverted in the words moyem (p. 150, line 10) and méthodique (last line of p. 541). That it is a reprint of the first edition is moreover explicitly stated on the last page: "réimprimé en offset par l'imprimerie française de l'édition". Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Voyage au bout de la nuit. Novel, Paris, Editions Denoel et Steele, 1932. PP.: 623, (I). COMPLETE. Copy with leaves in overall good/very good condition, with some small restorations on the margins of a few leaves. Usual signs of use and time. 20th-century binding in half red leather with title and date in gold on the spine, very well preserved. White endleaves.
