CELINE (Louis-Ferdinand). L'Eglise. Paris, Denoël & Steele, 1933. Paperback, 133 pp. First edition printed in an edition of 2120 numbered copies, this one of 250 numbered hors-commerce copies on Alfa. "In this extraordinary play, the audacity of which made all Parisian theatre directors cringe, we find some of the characters from Journey to the End of the Night. We also find the author's satirical and visionary gifts, but applied to a different subject. In one act, the underbelly of the League of Nations is portrayed with ferocious verve, reminiscent of Rabelais and Père Ubu". (Bibliographie de la France). To be published / Mort à crédit. Novel". Photogravure frontispiece to L'Inconnue de la Seine (1930) from a plate by Amsler and Ruthardt. Apart from a few spots of brown spotting, a good copy. (Dauphin & Fouché, 33A1).
