Summary:

Rarely will a man of letters unleash as many passions as Louis-Ferdinand Celine. Writer of genius, but anti-Semitic pamphleteer, his attitude during the Occupation continues to question. In 2017, two "historians" published a book claiming to shed light on the dark side of Celine, where he is portrayed, among others, as a hideous denouncer, and an agent of Germany. To the point that one feels entitled to ask them: "Did you read Céline? " With precision and rigor, David Alliot and Éric Mazet answer the accusations of these two "scientists", undermine their fabrications and bring their own light on this little-known period of life of Celine. They also come back to Gallimard's project of republishing the writer's antisemitic pamphlets and explain why, paradoxically enough, it is essential and necessary to bring it to fruition.--Pierre-Guillaume de Roux.
