Description

Guerre, written by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, is a previously unpublished work that sheds new light on the author's experience during World War I. Transcribed from an early manuscript, this novel offers a raw and unflinching portrayal of the physical and moral trauma faced by soldiers at the front.

The story follows Brigadier Ferdinand as he navigates his recovery from serious injury, forming an unlikely friendship with a hospital orderly that helps him cope with the harsh realities of war. This intense period of disillusionment and self-discovery is presented in stark detail, offering a unique insight into Céline's life and work.

First published 20 years after the events it describes, Guerre provides a powerful and unvarnished account of one man's experience on the front lines. This novel is a significant addition to Céline's oeuvre, revealing new aspects of his writing style and thematic concerns.
