Paperback, filled cover. First edition. "London is the most voluminous manuscript in the set of unpublished works by Louis-Ferdinand Céline that reappeared in the summer of 2021: over a thousand pages alone.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 paper vellum, the only large paper edition. A mint copy, packaged as issued.
