Paperback, lined cover. First edition. "Londres is the most voluminous manuscript of the set of unpublished works by Louis-Ferdinand Céline that reappeared in the summer of 2021: more than a thousand pages alone. It is the immediate sequel to Guerre, but can be read independently, so much so that the motifs it develops and the characters it introduces have their own unity, a unity that stems above all from the urban setting of this story" (Preface). One of 310 copies on Arjowiggins vellum rivoli, the only edition on large paper. A perfectly preserved copy, as issued.
