22.7 x 14.5cm, 380pp. Original wrappers. The first edition despite the fictive mention of the 14th printing on the cover (and not the reissue with photos of 1943) of this notorious anti-semitic rant by Celine who was sent to jail for being the author of this outrage.

In France the book was still illegal to sell until 2011.

The book's wrappers are a bit tired and dirty but perhaps appropriately so given the content.

Extremely rare in part because of legal restrictions in force in some countries and we ask that any potential purchaser understands that this book contains some of the most violent anti-semitism ever printed and that we offer it for sale for use by serious academics and not to promote its objectionable views - in fact due to the restrictions noted above some sales may be restricted to academic purchasers only in some European countries - please enquire if this may be the case.
