This textbook series is ambitious in scope. It provides concise and
lucid introductions to major works of world literature from
classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to
any single literary tradition or genre, and will cumulatively form
a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important
and widely read literary masterpieces. Each book is devoted to a
single work and provides a close reading of that text, as well as a
full account of its historical, cultural, and intellectual
background, a discussion of its influence, and a guide to further
reading. The contributors to the series, are given complete freedom
in the choice of their critical method. Where the text is written
in a language other than English, full account is taken of readers
studying the text in English translation. While critical jargon is
avoided, important technical terminology is fully explained, and
thus this series will be genuinely accessible to students at all
levels and to general readers. Journey to the End of the Night is a
novel of savage, exultant misanthropy, full of cynical humour and
of the blackest pessimism in respect of humanity. Its millions of
readers across the world have admired it uneasily, dismayed by
Celine's morbidity, yet fascinated by his virtuosity as a writer.
In this detailed study, John Sturrock shows why that admiration is
absolutely in order, and why this extraordinary work should be
acknowledged as one of the chief literary landmarks of the
twentieth century.
