Abstract EN:

Starting from a letter from an outraged reader, the basis for a rigourous analysis of the diverse works of celine can be undertaken. Paradoxically close to the actual feeling of a work by celine kimself, the letter, as a response to death on the installment plan, allows us to reflect upon celine's works as a whole, as well as his actual writing style. After the consideration of proust as a prototype for celine, this thesis attempts to justify a theoretical interpretation of celine's writings on the basis of death (in his writing). Eight chapters, each presenting a specific, organic death and its cause in the different works will be considered.
