This book is neither an accusation nor a confession. This is just an attempt to tell about a generation, destroyed by war, even if it survived from its shells. Erich Maria Remarque
The story of World War I is told from the perspective of a simple soldier: nineteen-year-old Paul Beumer arrives at the front as a naive volunteer who has just finished school. But his initial enthusiasm and fascination with war as an exciting adventure fades when he is confronted with the brutality of the slaughter and the senselessness of the deaths of his comrades. Erich Maria Remarque suddenly became famous in 1929 thanks to his truth about war.
The novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" is a classic of world literature that sounds extremely relevant today.
