Product Details
This book is been translated from the German by A. W. Wheen, and has been called by critics as "the greatest war novel of all time."
Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the Germany army of World War I, is the narrator of the story.
At first, the young men are enthusiastic, but the "world of work, duty, culture, and progress they had been taught breaks into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches."
Paul fights in the war for "years of vivid horror," holding fast to a single vow: "to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other." But first, he must come out of the war alive.
