Journey to the End of the Night

"One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century", - John Banville.
First published in 1932, Journey to the End of the World was immediately acclaimed as a masterpiece and a turning point in French literature. Told in the first person by Celine's fictional alter ego Bardamu, the novel is loosely based on the author's own experience during the Fist World War, in French colonial Africa, in the USA and, later, as a young doctor in a working-class suburb in Paris.
