Beschreibung
Few books before "All Quiet on the Western Front" dared to describe in such graphic detail the privations, challenges and horrors faced by soldiers in the thick of battle. Thus, upon the publication of the this book in 1928 (a quasi-autobiographical war novel by German army veteran Erich Maria Remarque), it became an immediate sensation and a publishing juggernaut, selling 2.5 million copies in 22 languages in its first 18 months in print.
Since then, it become a classic of the genre; a war novel that examines life on the front lines from the perspective of a soldier who has actually experienced the fears, triumphs and intense mental anguish soldiers typically endure. The book also provides a unique perspective on the difficulties soldiers face in returning from war and attempting to re-enter life as civilians. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format and includes a biography of the author.
