About the story
ERICH MARIA REMARQUE’S BOOK “ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT” DESCRIBES THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES OF GERMAN SOLDIERS IN WORLD WAR I. PAUL BÄUMER, A TEENAGE SOLDIER WHO ENLISTS ALONGSIDE HIS FRIENDS UNDER THE SWAY OF NATIONALIST PROPAGANDA, TELLS THE STORY. PAUL AND HIS ALLIES EXPERIENCE DEATH, PAIN, AND DESPAIR AS THE WAR WEARS ON AND THEY COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE HARSH REALITIES OF TRENCH WARFARE. THE BOOK LOOKS AT ISSUES LIKE WASTED YOUTH, THE POINTLESSNESS OF WAR, AND THE EFFECTS OF FIGHTING ON SOLDIERS’ PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH. IN THE END, PAUL STRUGGLES TO FIND PURPOSE IN THE MEANINGLESS DESTRUCTION ALL AROUND HIM AND GROWS MORE AND MORE ALOOF AND DISILLUSIONED.

About the author
GERMAN AUTHOR ERICH MARIA REMARQUE (1898–1970) A 1931 NOMINEE FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO LITERATURE, IS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS POTENT ANTI-WAR NOVELS. HE WAS INJURED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE SERVING IN THE GREAT WAR; THESE EVENTS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON HIS WRITING. “ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT,” HIS GROUNDBREAKING BOOK, OFFERS A GRAPHIC AND UNAPOLOGETIC ACCOUNT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN THE GREAT WAR. AFTER FLEEING NAZI PERSECUTION, REMARQUE MOVED FIRST TO SWITZERLAND AND THEN TO THE US, WHERE HE CARRIED ON WRITING ABOUT DISPLACEMENT AND CONFLICT. CELEBRATED FOR THEIR PROFOUND EMOTIONAL RESONANCE AND POTENT MESSAGES OF PEACE, HIS WORKS CONTINUE TO BE TIMELESS MASTERPIECES.

    Didn’t realise how small the book is and quite expensive too. However with the help of his glasses, my husband should enjoy the read.

    As I was getting deeper and deeper into this classic novel, I forgot the narrator was German. I was in actual tears at several points – particularly during the description of the gut-wrenching cries from horses in agony. The phrase “man’s inhumanity to man” kept coming to the forefront of my mind, despite it’s being such a cliché.Forget jingoism, forget “patriotism”, read this (or get the excellent audiobook version) and remember the absolute and total futility of war. A million men died at the Somme – roughly equal numbers on each side – and for what? But that’s enough of a history lesson for now. Just read the book, and have some tissues ready.

    A novel that reveals the inanity of war and how it affects the common man following the orders of a High Command faraway from the suffering prevailing on the front.

    This book has always been on my list to read and I’ve eventually got around to reading it. It is hard-hitting, graphic description of life for German soldiers in the First World War. Although it focuses on a group of German soldiers, it shows how soldiers on both sides suffered similar deprivations and pain. The author himself starts the book with “This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure …. it will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped the shells, were destroyed by the war.” Remarque portrays the psychological impact of the war and how it destroys the men, leaving them feeling empty and unsure of what daily life should really be like. Although the book is set in the First World War, its messages are relevant to all conflicts. The book was seen as so powerful by the Nazis that they banned the book and burnt copies.I liked this small hardcover edition of the book. It fitted easily into my pocket so I was able to read it on my commute. The gold leaf pages made it an attractive addition to my bookshelf.

    Un libro clásico. por un módico precio. Animo a todos los libreros a poner mas libros en estas condiciones, mucha más gente se animaría a comprarlos.

    War is hell no matter which side you are on.
    I have thought about reading this for years and finally got around to it. It was interesting to look at the war from the German point of view.

    1994 translation of “All Quiet on the Western Front”
    This 1994 English translation of Erich Maria Remarque’s work is excellent, as is the original A. W. Wheen 1929 translation. Read them both.

    I purchased it before traveling and it was great to read at the airport and on the plane. There are 17 short stories so you can read one at a time or like me, all at once. I couldn’t put it down. Some are funny but a few are sad and the last one just made me mad that someone would do that to someone’s home! It was a fun read, a number of my friends and family members are in real estate, I will pass on as I think they will enjoy.

    I’ve never seen the movie made of this story. I won’t watch it now, as the writing and story are so good. Difficult to read some parts that refer to German things and daily life, I just didn’t know what was what. There were some descriptions about battles but nothing more than most of us have seen in movies or in other sources. Writing was, I believe, much gentler then.Even though we believe war is bad, as I hope most people do, this story tells of how a man is destroyed~not by gunfire but by being forced to to destroy others with whom he personally has no quarrel or knowledge of. The story told here is age old, perhaps. It is also always new. As the lesson seems to not be learned with time.
