En esta novela, Louis-Ferdinand Celine nos ofrece una crónica vívida de la huida desesperada de un hombre de Francia en los últimos meses de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Acompañado por su esposa, su gato y un amigo actor, el narrador autobiográfico Ferdinand deja París hacia Baden-Baden, luego es enviado a un Berlín bombardeado y finalmente parte hacia Dinamarca en busca del oro que había guardado allí antes de la guerra. Con el Tercer Reich en ruinas y los ejércitos aliados pisándole los talones a Ferdinand, 'Nord' combina realismo documental con imágenes alucinatorias, capturando el caos de la guerra y su impacto tanto en la víctima como en el victimario.
Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches, better known by the pen name Louis-Ferdinand Céline, was a French novelist, polemicist, and physician. His first novel Journey to the End of the Night (1932) won the Prix Renaudot but divided critics due to the author's pessimistic depiction of the human condition and his writing style based on working-class speech. In subsequent novels such as Death on the Installment Plan (1936), Guignol's Band (1944) and Castle to Castle (1957), Céline further developed an innovative and distinctive literary style. Maurice Nadeau wrote: "What Joyce did for the English language...what the surrealists attempted to do for the French language, Céline achieved effortlessly and on a vast scale."
