Rigadoon

Book Review

«Rigadoon» is the final part of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's trilogy, completing his literary legacy. Critics note that this work is a vivid example of the author's unique style, combining elements of autobiography, philosophical reflections, and satire. Céline masterfully conveys the atmosphere of chaos and despair in the last days of World War II, through which he explores human nature and moral dilemmas. The book is filled with dark humor and cynicism, characteristic of Céline, making it challenging to perceive, yet deeply impactful. Some critics view «Rigadoon» as a kind of farewell from the author to the world he lived in, and an attempt to understand his own place in history. Despite its complexity and contradictions, the work garners interest due to its honesty and emotional richness.
