Un livre puissant, déstabilisant sur le genre humain dans toute sa noirceur.Ferdinand Bardamu est notre guide, un anti-héros lâche et profiteur. C'est aussi un fin analyste d'une société aux vices insoupçonnables et innombrables !

Un livre poignant sur la bassesse humaine et sur la misère qui caractérise le petit peuple. Ferdinand Bardamu est le représentant de cette mouvance : entre lâcheté face à la guerre et exil en Afrique puis en Amérique, notre héros ne s'épargne rien. Les femmes virevoltent dans sa vie, les petits travers du quotidien sont comme mis en exergue. On jubile, on adhère... plié sous ce missile !

There are only a select number of books I enjoy that are told from the perspective of a first person narrative, this wasn't one of them. As an intellectual endeavor I found Céline's deliberate disregard of his reader frustrating more than enlightening or entertaining. "Traditional" novella structure can go play with itself in a corner for all I care, but this voice was something different - might be something lost in translation.

This is truly a journey. A book all pro-war/pro-oppression types should read.

Louis-Ferdinand plays himself in this adventure fictional account during the second World War. It is a tulmultuos novel written in a very sensational style that is very brilliant and yet unappologeticaly nihilistic. It is in his word combination that one finds themselves hurling into the very blunt realization that humanity has gone insane, has dehumanized themselves through cultural-indoctrination. The perfect companion for the Drunken Philosopher or the aspiring intellectual. This rough and tumble adventure drag us kicking and screaming all over Europe and, aye! to the Western Lands, home of the Great Work (already in progress), AMERICA--THE SHINNING EMPIRE!!! This book is VERY GOOD, I recomend it highly!! AND! I intend on reading its companion book, Death on the Installment Plan!!
