Description

The most famous anti-war novel ever written.

In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the ‘glorious war’. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young ‘unknown soldier’ experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.

‘Remarque’s evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force’ The Times

TRANSLATED BY BRIAN MURDOCH

This series of war novels from Vintage Classics presents eight powerful stories about the horror and waste of war – each a passionate plea to prevent its repetition.

All Quiet on the Western Front, BAFTA and Oscar winner, 2023

Publisher Review

Its extraordinary appeal may stem from Remarque’s success in universalising the soldiers’ experience – that the war was the same for all who fought * Daily Telegraph * [A] masterpiece… For the first time a writer gave a raw, pitiless account of men killing each other, by any means possible… its unrelenting honesty makes it hard to read it as anything else * Economist *
