Summary

The novel «Castle to Castle» by Louis-Ferdinand Céline is an autobiographical work in which the author recounts his experiences and the events that occurred during the final days of World War II. On the run due to accusations of collaboration, Céline narrates his journey through Germany and Denmark, where he hides from persecution. The book is filled with dark and grotesque descriptions that convey the atmosphere of chaos and decline in Europe at that time. The author employs his unique style, rich with black humor and sarcasm, to express his reflections on war, human nature, and his own mistakes. «Castle to Castle» is the first part of a trilogy that also includes the novels «North» and «Rigadoon».
