The traumatic experience of the bombings engenders in the narrators a horrified and fascinated vision at the same time, and the destruction thus begins to be perceived as an aesthetic fact. This paper intends to study how trauma appears as a decisive factor in the configuration of Céline and Bernhard's style, based on the aforementioned works. For this, elements such as the relationship between reality and language, the rhythm and structure of prose, misanthropy, the place of writing, temporal conceptions, etc. will be analyzed. The presence of trauma hinders any possibility of post-apocalyptic space, because the present and the future disarticulate before the great weight of the past. Publicadas con casi diez años de diferencia, las novelas De un castillo al otro, de Louis Ferdinand Céline, y El origen, de Thomas Bernhard, narran, sin embargo, acontecimientos ocurridos en un mismo momento histórico: el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La experiencia traumática de los bombardeos engendra en los narradores una visión horrorizada y fascinada a la vez, y la destrucción comienza así a percibirse como un hecho estético. El presente trabajo se propone estudiar de qué manera el trauma aparece como un factor decisivo en la configuración del estilo de Céline y de Bernhard, tomando como base las obras antes mencionadas. Para ello, se analizarán elementos como la relación entre la realidad y el lenguaje, el ritmo y la estructura de la prosa, la misantropía, el lugar de la escritura, las concepciones temporales, entre otras. La presencia del trauma obstaculiza cualquier posibilidad de espacio postapocalíptico, porque el presente y el futuro se desarticulan ante el gran peso del pasado.
