«Viaje al fin de la noche» is the novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, published by Edhasa in hardcover (576 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1932, it was the novel that introduced Céline. Its satirical and transgressive language, bitter style and fast pace made it a reference in European and Latin American narrative. The author's unflinching view of existence influenced later writers.
Special 60th anniversary edition from the publisher, in the Diamante collection; translated from French by Carlos Manzano.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction interested in twentieth-century European literature.
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."
