Description

War by Louis-Ferdinand Céline is set in the aftermath of a devastating conflict, where a shell-shocked soldier struggles to find safety and make sense of his surroundings. His journey takes him to a military hospital, where he forms an unlikely friendship with a Parisian pimp. This novel, written around 1934, explores the physical and mental trauma of war through a vivid and unflinching lens. Its themes and setting are reminiscent of Céline's most celebrated work, Journey to the End of the Night. The manuscript was thought lost after being looted during the Liberation of Paris, but re-emerged in France in 2020. Translated into English for the first time, War offers a powerful exploration of the human cost of war, shedding light on a pivotal moment in the writing career of one of the twentieth century's most influential authors.
