Journey to the End of the Night (Voyage au bout de la nuit) — the debut novel of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, first published in 1932.

CÉLINE, Louis-Ferdinand (born Louis-Ferdinand Destouches; 27 May 1894, Courbevoie near Paris – 1 July 1961, Meudon) — French writer and physician, one of the most significant and controversial figures of twentieth-century literature. A veteran of the First World War, decorated for bravery. Author of the groundbreaking novel Voyage au bout de la nuit (Journey to the End of the Night, 1932), which revolutionized the language of French prose through its use of colloquial, rhythmic phrasing and radically subjective narration. Also the author of Mort à crédit (1936), Guignol’s Band (1944), and the war trilogy (D’un château l’autre, Nord, Rigodon). His literary work exerted a profound influence on twentieth-century prose, while remaining the subject of controversy due to his journalistic writings and political stance during the Second World War.
