I put this book down and closed it up. I never wanted to read another war novel again, and I never did.\" In this brilliant new translation, the distinguished Harvard professor Maria Tatar draws on her lifelong engagement with German literature to give a new generation of readers an English version that comes closest to the lyrical tragedy of the 1929 original. It compels us to see with fresh eyes the abject horror of trench warfare, and to feel with a quickened heart the unbreakable bonds of friendship forged among Paul and his fellow soldiers as they fight not just for their country but also for their own survival. At a time when we are more divided than ever, Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel reminds us that enemy soldiers who've been demonized by the rhetoric of war actually have much in common, giving it the potential to generate principled outrage about the senselessness of war for another hundred years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePenguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

He was conscripted at age 18, wounded by shrapnel, and served on the Western Front. This experience ultimately informed the anti-war sentiment that defines the bulk of his writing. His 1929 debut \u003ci\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues)\u003c\/i\u003e drew directly from his own harrowing experiences to depict the physical and psychological toll of trench warfare with brutal clarity. The book quickly became an international bestseller, selling nearly 2.5 million copies in 22 languages within 18 months. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest anti-war novels ever written. The novel inspired multiple acclaimed film adaptations (including a 1930 Oscar winning version) and sparked fierce controversy. Nazi Germany banned and burned it in 1933, condemning it as unpatriotic. Despite pressure from the state, Remarque continued to write unflinchingly about the horrors of war and the specter of state-sanctioned violence looming over the post-war world.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Erich Maria Remarque \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48552001241245,"sku":"9798888976913","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_2cdc08e5-533a-4454-8b2b-39c6d68e09be.jpg?v=1782826871"},{"product_id":"three-children-in-danger-when-courage-alone-stands-between-life-and-death-9783948865801","title":"Three Children in Danger: When courage alone stands between life and death","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA gripping historical novel about a daring escape from Nazi Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe responsibility weighs heavily on the shoulders of twelve-year-old Holger.
