Journey to the End of Night
(
Voyage au bout de la nuit
, 1932) is the first novel of
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
. This semi-autobiographical work describes antihero
Ferdinand Bardamu
.
His surname, Bardamu, is derived from the French words
barda
—the "pack" carried by World War I soldiers—and
mu
, the past participle of the verb
mouvoir
, meaning "to move".
Bardamu is involved with
World War I
, colonial
Africa
, and post-World War I
America
(where he works for the
Ford Motor Company
), returning in the second half of the work to
France
, where he becomes a medical
doctor
and establishes a practice in a poor Paris suburb, the fictional La Garenne-Rancy. The novel also satirizes the medical profession and the vocation of
scientific research
. The disparate elements of the work are linked together by recurrent encounters with Léon Robinson, a hapless character whose experiences parallel, to some extent, those of Bardamu.
Voyage au bout de la nuit
is a
nihilistic
novel of savage, exultant
misanthropy
, combined, however, with cynical humour. Céline expresses an almost unrelieved
pessimism
with regard to human nature, human institutions, society, and life in general. Towards the end of the book, the narrator Bardamu, who is working at an insane asylum, remarks:
…I cannot refrain from doubting that there exist any genuine realizations of our deepest character except war and illness, those two infinities of nightmare,"
("
…je ne peux m'empêcher de mettre en doute qu'il existe d'autres véritables réalisations de nos profonds tempéraments que la guerre et la maladie, ces deux infinis du cauchemar,
")
In 2006
Will Self
described the book as being "a furious attempt to place one man's consciousness at the epicenter of a world that is exploding under the centripetal influences of capitalism, imperialism, consumerism and licentiousness."
