Castle to Castle

Style and Technique

The novel «Castle to Castle» by Louis-Ferdinand Céline is distinguished by a unique style characterized by fragmentation and stream of consciousness. Céline uses colloquial language, rich with slang and idioms, which gives the text liveliness and immediacy. The author often resorts to long, broken sentences that convey the internal monologue and emotional state of the characters. The narrative structure is nonlinear, interspersed with memories and reflections, creating an effect of chaos and disorientation that mirrors the protagonist's inner world. Literary devices such as irony and sarcasm are used to critique society and human nature. Céline masterfully conveys the atmosphere of the time and place, using detailed descriptions and symbolism, allowing the reader to delve deeper into the world of the work.
