A beautiful hardback edition of the most famous anti-war novel ever written.
Set at the outbreak of World War I, this classic German novel follows a generation of young soldiers from the classroom to the trenches.
In 1914, a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the 'glorious war'.
With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. One by one the boys begin to fall...
All Quiet on the Western Front depicts artillery bombardment, battlefield survival and the psychological trauma of industrialised war, and remains one of the most influential works of twentieth century war literature.
Vintage Quarterbound Classics: Bound to be beautiful.
'A necessary, shattering read' Irish Times
'Remarque's evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force' The Times
[A] masterpiece… For the first time a writer gave a raw, pitiless account of men killing each other, by any means possible… its unrelenting honesty makes it hard to read it as anything else * Economist *
