A trip in the late night

The novel "Journey to the End of the Night" by Ferdinand Céline is considered the first novel to use the language of normal speech as a narrative language, but by a skilled artist who is aware of what he is doing. Marcel Émer commented on his style by saying that he shook the collar of the established French language strongly. Céline established, with this novel and the following one "Death on the Installment Plan" in 1936, his literary position as the greatest French novelist after Proust, according to critics and intellectuals. Many writers, such as Sartre and Samuel Beckett, were influenced by his ideas and style. Céline was born in Paris to a poor family, joined the army, and received a medal of bravery in World War I. He studied medicine and worked in some African countries and in the United States before returning to France, dedicating himself to treating the poor.
