Synopsis

Paul Bäumer is just 19 when he and his classmates eagerly enlist, believing in the patriotic ideals of Germany’s "Iron Youth." However, the brutal reality of war quickly shatters their illusions, leaving them either dead or deeply disillusioned. As Paul grapples with the man he has become and the unrecognizable world he must return to, he drifts like a shadow of his former self toward the war’s final moments. All Quiet on the Western Front stands as one of the greatest war novels ever written, a powerful testament to the futility, despair, and irreversible toll of warfare. A haunting story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the dehumanizing horrors of battle, Erich Maria Remarque’s masterpiece lays bare the profound psychological and emotional scars war leaves on the human soul.

About Erich Maria Remarque

Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970) was born in Osnabrück, Germany, of French ancestry. He studied at the University of Münster but had to enlist in the German army at the age of eighteen. He fought on the Western Front and was wounded several times. He began his writing career as a journalist. Fame came with his first novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), which sold more than a million copies in its first year and created a new literary genre of veterans writing about conflict. He left Germany in 1932 because of Nazism, came to the United States in 1939, and became a US citizen in 1947. All Quiet on the Western Front was adapted to film in 1930.

They were young. They were twenty-year-old. The war has stolen their youth. To me the front is a mysterious whirlpool. Though I am in still water far away from its centre, I feel the whirl of the vortex sucking me slowly, irresistibly, inescapable into itself. From the earth, from the air, sustaining......more

All Quiet on the Western Front is a book about a 20-year-old German boy named Paul. He is serving in World War I – this is hand-to-hand combat, trench warfare, barbed wire, bayonets, and gas. All Quiet on the Western Front is about the devastation of war, and that no one survives even if the soldier......more

Październik 2022: Udało mi się. Po trzech podejściach skończyłam. Przesłuchałam audiobooka w wykonaniu Krzysztofa Gosztyły i nie mogłabym wyobrazić sobie lepszego lektora. Praktycznie do końca myślałam, że obniżę ocenę, bo jednak nie mogłam przejść przez jej początek, ale ostatnie zdanie, które tak n......more

Goodreads review by Candi on January 08, 2019

"It’s unendurable. It is the moaning of the world, it is the martyred creation, wild with anguish, filled with terror, and groaning." This slim novel about the horror of the World War I trenches and the senselessness of war was published in 1929. If you open this book up today, it is absolutely just......more
