Eins meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher. Niemand könnte die Grauen des Krieges in so schöne Worte einbetten wie Remarque. Das Buch ist so faszinierend die pazifistische Botschaft erzählt sich ganz von selbst ohne dass der Autor explizit darauf hinweisen muss. Auch über hundert Jahre nach Ende des Krieges ist es wichtig solche Bücher zu lesen und zu erinnern was der Krieg damals und immer noch heute mit Menschen anrichtet.

An absolutely devastating account of life for a young man in the German side of the trenches during WW1. The descriptions of loss, hopelessness, horror and futility of it all are a truly harrowing read. 

I couldn’t say that I enjoyed this book, but I read it in one sitting and would recommend it to anyone.
