De un castillo a otro (Trilogía del Norte, 1)

The Allies have liberated France, and retreating German troops are escorting a large group of Vichy government collaborators to Sigmaringen Castle. This is the starting point of *Castle to Castle*: more than a thousand anguished people, adrift and without a future, are crammed into a labyrinthine castle. Yet Céline’s castles are truly harrowing places, haunted by the specters of war, hatred, and misery. With autobiographical candor—straddling the line between novel and confession—and employing sharp irony and biting humor, Céline depicts panic-stricken Germans, a Europe in upheaval, Vichy ministers left without ministries, and the Marshal on the verge of facing the Supreme Court.
