Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'All Quiet on the Western Front' is probably the most famous anti-war novel ever written. The story is told by a young 'unknown soldier' in the trenches of Flanders during the First World War. Through his eyes we see all the realities of war; under fire, on patrol, waiting in the trenches, at home on leave, and in hospitals and dressing stations. Although there are vividly described incidents which remain in mind, there is no sense of adventure here, only the feeling of youth betrayed and a deceptively simple indictment of war - of any war - told for a whole generation of victims.

Rated by buyers -
The useage of rather straightforward simple, yet beautiful language makes this a classic vivid account of WW I. And in a way timeless, as the problems th eyoung soldiers face and the psychological effects of war still seem comparable today.
A classroom of german boys volunteers and are send to the Western front. Yet the realities of war are very different from their expectations. They find that people at home have no clue about the life they lead. In the end, eachother is all they have. And they are bound to loose that too.
The book was followed by Der Weg Zurück (Road back), in which the last survivors try to fit in postwar society.
Both are highly recomended.
