Composed In The Tumultuous Aftermath Of World War Ii, Largely In The Danish Prison Cell Where The Author Was Awaiting Extradition To France On Charges Of High Treason, The Book Offers A Unique Perspective On The War, The Postwar Political Purges In France, And Louisferdinand Clines Own Dissident Politics.The Tale Of A Man Imprisoned And Reviled By His Own Countrymen, The Fable Follows Its Characters Decline From Virulent Hatred To Near Madness As A Result Of His Violent Frustration With The Hypocrisy And Banality Of His Fellow Human Beings. In Part Because Of The Storys Clear Link To His Own Caseand Because Of The Legal And Political Difficulties This Presentedcline Was Compelled To Push His Famously Elliptical, Brilliantly Vitriolic Language To New And Extraordinary Extremes In Fable For Another Time. The Resulting Linguistic And Stylistic Innovation Make This Work Stand Out As One Of The Most Original And Revealing Literary Undertakings Of Its Time.Louisferdinand Cline (18941961) Was A French Writer And Physician Best Known For The Novels Journey To The End Of The Night (1932) And Death On The Installment Plan (1936). Cline Was Accused Of Collaboration During World War Ii And Fled France In 1944 To Live First In Germany, Then In Denmark, Where He Was Imprisoned For Over A Year; An Amnesty In 1951 Allowed Him To Return To France. Cline Remains Anathema To A Large Segment Of French Society For His Antisemitic Writings; At The Same Time His Novels Are Enormously Admired By Each New Generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46564129374453,"sku":"DADAX0803264240","price":22.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/51zYQZbhciL.jpg?v=1744710049","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/fable-for-another-time-french-modernist-library-new","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
