About this listen

Louis-Ferdinand Céline thunders out from the grave with this long-lost novel. Looted by the Resistance during the liberation of Paris and resurfacing only in 2020, War is a major rediscovery. It begins in the chaotic battlefields of Flanders, with Bardamu (Céline’s fictional alter ego) surrounded by corpses. Wounded and shell-shocked, he wanders in hallucination, finding refuge at a hospital in Peurdu-sur-la-Lys and striking up a friendship with a Parisian pimp – however, the war continues to drive itself under his skin and destroy him.

Powered by Céline’s trademark vitriol, War is an unflinching account of life on the Western Front and a potent take on physical and mental trauma. Written only a couple of years after Journey to the End of the Night, it is the essential missing link in Céline’s oeuvre.
