blueyorkie's review

5.0

The "Great War" is over; it leaves the German population in poverty and a relentless search for work to earn a few cents.
The Weimar Republic is living its last hours; the birth of the 3rd Reich is pointing its nose with its share of violence.
They are three comrades of war who try to get out of it. Around them revolves a world of cafeterias, mechanics, prostitutes, and couples on the verge of rupture trying to resist getting stuck.
And then, one of the three meets Pat and falls madly in love with him, and all these little people are attached to this fragile little "lady."
That's a remarkable love story in a troubled time.
I was going to forget Karl, the character in the book—a work to discover.

ثلاثة رفاق - إريك ماريا ريمارك


هذه الرواية عن الحرب وما يليها من فقر ومرض وبطالة وأبناء البلد الذين ينقلبون على بعضهم البعض وكأنهم حين هزموا من الآخرين لم يجدوا من يحاربونه سوى أخوتهم في الوطن .
عن الكفاح والرفاق الذين يثرون الحياة وبدونهم تغدو محض عدم .
..مع كل كتاب أقرأه لـ ريمارك أتيقنُّ من كونه كاتبي المفضل
قوة نصوصه ورهافتها بذات الوقت وكيف يعبِّر عن النفس البشرية وخباياها والفلسفة التي تحملها شخصياته مع حزنهم الكبير بالوجود وتبعاته .
أحب ريمارك كما لم أحب كاتبًا آخر .

After almost a decade of hearing my grandpa talk about this book, I finally gave it a read. He always referenced Herr Zalewski’s “moderation is key” motto followed by the fact that he drank himself to death. The beginning of the book had lots of similar humor framed by Robby’s simple life, simple workshop, and early, light love for Pat. Of course, this didn’t last long and the latter half of the book describes 1928 Germany with heart-wrenching detail. My grandpa grew up in the USSR and for a while read only the “boy scout stories” young boys were given to read. This book was his first gulp of freedom and escape from communism, inspiring him to continue a pursuit of freedom with book after book, and eventually by bringing his family to America. This book means so much to me and affected me profoundly, please do read it!

Nesitikėjau, kad knyga taip greitai pasikeistų per maždaug 100 puslapių. Pabaiga buvo šiek tiek nuspėjama, bet manau tai turėjo būti.
