Написана как автобиография немца, вынужденного бежать от фашисткого режима в Нью-Йорк. Где он погружается в мир беженцев и из других стран, включая Россию.
Как обычно, Эрих Ремарк анализирует, как люди воспринимают такой поворот в своей судьбе, их переживания.
Повествование вполне имеет сюжет и с интересом читается, не превращаясь в сухое филосовствование.
Поставить книге пять звезд, как прочим книгам Эриха Ремарка не хочется - она явно одна из самых слабых его книг, лучше почитать что-то другое, если еще ничего из этого автора не читали.

Not bad, but not Remarque's best.

To jest literalnie Na ziemi obiecanej XD I to całkowicie serio, nie wiem, może któreś było pierwotnym szkicem czy coś, ale tu wszystko jest identycznie

Умело описание на тъгата, тъгата на всеки човек, съзнаващ, че всичко е преходно а той е единственото същество, което го знае....
Разтърси ме. Човешките чувства са описани толкова реално, че на места се стрясках. Накара ме да се замисля над въпроса с емигрантството, какво точно е то и каква е моята гледна точка по въпроса. Изключително реален роман. Роман за същността на човек, нравите му, първосигналните емоции, но и оталожилите се такива.

Poor last novel, far from the emotionally strong characters usually depicted in Remarques work, surely inspired by his own refuge in the USA, all characters keep blurry and uninspired in their action - lots of repetitions and dead end plot strings. Maybe due to the strong influence of the american publisher, who knows. But as far as I'm concerned the last Remarque to be read in a long time. Consider "AQATWF", "Heaven has no Favourites" and "Arc of Triumph" his best works. meh
