Bücher von John Sturrock

Journey to the End of the Night is a novel of sauage, exultant misanthropy, full of cynical humor and of the blackest pessimism in respect of humanity. In this detailed study, John Sturrock shows why Celine's extraordinary work should be acknowledged one of the chief literary landmarks of the twentieth century.

In this major study of the western tradition of literary autobiography, John Sturrock analyses the means by which the greatest autobiographers, from Augustine through Rousseau, Goethe and Darwin to Jean-Paul Sartre, have gone about establishing textual versions of themsleves.
