Zusammenfassung:"All Quiet on the Western Front, the greatest novel to come out of World War I, became an international bestseller on publication in 1929. The author's declared intention was 'to give an account of a generation that was destroyed by the war - even those of it who survived the shelling'. He was German but his account rang true for the ordinary soldier of whatever nationality, and gave voice to the sorrow of millions. In 1914 Paul Bäumer's class of twenty are marched off to volunteer by a patriotic schoolmaster. Few of them will survive. Confronted with the dehumanizing horror of modern warfare, the boys swiftly shed their idealism: death becomes the only real enemy and they can find no meaning in the hell-on-earth to which they are condemned except perhaps in the intense camaraderie that develops among soldiers enduring the unendurable together. Paul finds himself alienated from civilian life, from his father who wants to hear 'stories' from the front, from the elderly non-combatants who pat the 'young heroes' on the back or lecture them on how to win the war a bit quicker. (This was too much honesty for the Nazis. Remarque had to flee Germany in 1933, and his book was among those publicly burnt.) Raw, laconic, almost documentary in style, All Quiet on the Western Front has a startling immediacy. A century after the end of the Great War, it continues to speak to us with undiminished power and pathos."
