Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961) was a French writer and physician best known for his novel Journey to the End of the Night (Voyage au bout de la nuit, 1932), a groundbreaking work of modern literature. His writing style was revolutionary, marked by a raw, colloquial, and almost musical use of language that captured the chaos and brutality of the human experience.

Céline’s early works, particularly Journey to the End of the Night and Death on Credit (Mort à crédit, 1936), were highly influential, blending dark humor, cynicism, and an almost stream-of-consciousness narrative technique. His antiheroic protagonist, Bardamu, travels through war, colonial Africa, and the industrialized U.S., offering a scathing critique of human nature, war, and capitalism.

However, his legacy is deeply controversial due to his virulent antisemitic pamphlets published in the late 1930s and during World War II, which aligned him with fascist ideology. After the war, he fled to Denmark to escape prosecution for collaboration with the Vichy regime but was later granted amnesty and returned to France, where he lived in relative obscurity until his death in 1961.

Despite his toxic political views, Céline remains one of the most important and stylistically innovative writers of the 20th century, influencing authors such as Samuel Beckett, Charles Bukowski, and William S. Burroughs. His work continues to spark debate, balancing literary genius against the weight of his personal beliefs.
