Ending wounded and repatriated to Paris, so we follow his life in Paris, his various trips and his return to settle in as a doctor.
With a style that revolutionized the genre of the novel and poetry, bound by its affiliation to spoken language, giving realism and sincerity to events, Céline takes us into the gloomy atmosphere of war, peculiar to that the after the war, the stifling atmosphere of the lush Africa, a New York physician and her dark life.
The céliniennes descriptions are always accompanied by a tinge of pessimism and doom, but where the tenderness of the characters is not absent. This sweet melancholy to the hearts of dreamers player.
The other characters are passages, but each have a poetry and a beautiful scenic thick, often melancholy.
Moreover, these descriptions feel the experience, those who give a beautiful truth to this major work.
Awareness and knowledge without flaws and somewhat desperate Celine actually a novel reflecting perfectly human souls and offers very personal tone of Celine. I find the characters with a thickness and a just wonderful realistic beauty.
This novel is also that of a generation that continues and worsens with nihilism. The lawsuit pays the "last man."
I advise truly and emphatically this extraordinary novel that will transport you to the Paris Celine and territories that he practiced.
