One Castle to Another
About This Novel
The famous contemporary French critic Solers once wrote: "Celina relied on his superb skills to leave many masterpieces, such as "One Castle to Another Castle" and "The North". In my opinion, these two books surpass "Wandering in the Dark" and "Suspended Death." In "From Castle to Castle", Selina recounts his impoverished and cursed career as a writer and doctor, his escape from his apartment in Paris to Sigmaringen, Germany, the seat of the Vichy government-in-exile, and his various encounters and life experiences of poverty and illness in a prison in western Denmark, using fantasy The novel depicts the comical appearances of "enemies" and "German devils" including Marshal Pétain, Laval, and other political figures, as well as mainstream French literary writers such as Sartre, Aragon, and Roger Vaillant. Like "Wandering in the Dark", the work truly shows an eerie, ruthless world of ghosts and ghosts, and profoundly exposes the cruelty, madness, harm to life and destruction of human nature of war. "Castle to Castle" is neither a pure novel nor a pure memoir. It keeps a distance from reality but refuses to get close to fiction. This is a major feature of Celina's "German Exile Trilogy". The Chinese translation published this time is the first translation.
