Über diesen Titel

Críticas

Céline is my Proust!--Philip Roth

The most blackly humorous and disenchanted voice in all of French literature.--John Sturrock

Teeming with disease, misanthropy, and dark comedy.

An extraordinarily gifted writer, he writes like a lunging live wire, crackling and wayward, full of hidden danger.--Alfred Kazin

Terrifying: enormously powerful and slashing, satiric, misanthropic--but what power of the imagination!--James Laughlin

One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. It could be said that without Céline there would have been no Henry Miller, no Jack Kerouac, no Charles Bukowski.--John Banville

This is the novel, perhaps more than any other, that inspired me to write fiction. Céline showed me that it was possible to convey things that had heretofore seemed inaccessible.--Will Self

Reseña del editor

Originally published to shocked reviews in 1932 France, a scathing literary critique of what the writer believed to be the poor judgment and hypocrisy of society follows the travels of petit-bourgeois anti-hero Bardamu, from the trenches of World War I and the African jungle to America and Paris.
