Jako lepo ocuvana, kao na slici. (Na dnu knjige bocno stoji linija markera, relativno zanemarljivo).

Céline: A Biography (French: La Vie de Céline, `the life of Céline`) is a 1988 book by the French writer Frédéric Vitoux, on the author Louis-Ferdinand Céline. It was published in English in 1992.

James Sallis wrote in The Washington Post:
Biographer Vitoux, already a celebrated authority, surely has here the last word on Celine. His book is a marvel of research, of inclusiveness and discursive narration. It is also a marvel of balance, with the biographer, rather like his subject (and for all his obvious passion) standing forever curiously apart from the observing. ... If at the end of Vitoux`s watershed work we still fail to know Celine fully, it has nothing to do with Vitoux`s labors or insight, and everything to do with the simple fact that finally each of us remains a mystery.[1]
Publishers Weekly wrote: `The book provides a stunning portrait of Celine`s progressive withdrawal from reality, accompanied by persecution manias, constant headaches and auditory hallucinations. Vitoux limns a prophet of decadence who hated war and colonialism and rattled the complacency of the well-to-do by proposing that cruel egoism dwells in the heart of every individual.`[2] Kirkus Reviews called the book a `sympathetic, perfectly tuned biography of France`s most word-wild, controversial novelist ever`.[3]

Drawing on a wealth of unpublished letters and documents and first-ever interviews with Celine`s widow, Frederic Vitoux brilliantly weaves together all the available information on Celine into an extraordinary portrait of Celine`s temptuous life and times.
