Céline

Céline refers to Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a French novelist and playwright known for his influential but controversial works. He is best recognized for his 1932 novel "Journey to the End of the Night," which explores themes of human suffering, society's absurdity, and existential despair, often using a distinct, colloquial style. Céline's writing broke literary conventions and introduced a stream-of-consciousness approach. Despite his literary contributions, he became infamous for his anti-Semitic views and collaboration with the Nazis during World War II, leading to a complex legacy that continues to provoke discussion about art and morality.
