Description
This gripping and emotional account of life on the front lines in World War I continues to resonate with modern readers.
One of the most profound accounts of the horrors of war, All Quiet on the Western Front is Erich Maria Remarque's semi-autobiographical novel that continues to touch readers more than a century after its initial publication. The story is told from the perspective of Paul Bäumer, a young German recruit sent to the front lines in World War I.
As he experiences each stage of the war, Bäumer undergoes a transformation from a young, ambitious soldier to a starving, suffering man who regards the conflict with disdain. A timeless classic that has become one of the most powerful statements against armed conflict, All Quiet on the Western Front is an essential addition to any home library.

About the Author
Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970) was a German-born author, whose best-known novel (All Quiet on the Western Front) was based on his experience in the German army during World War I. Because his work discussed anti-war themes, Remarque became a target of the Nazis during the 1930s, his books were banned in Germany, and his German citizenship was revoked. He first moved to Switzerland to escape Nazi persecution and then to the United States in 1939. He returned to Switzerland in 1948 and remained there until his death in 1970.
