All Quiet on the Western Front - Unabridged

When &quote;All Quiet on the Western Front&quote; - a quasi-autobiographical war novel by German army veteran Erich Maria Remarque - was published in 1928, it was an immediate sensation. Few books before it had dared to describe in such detail the privations, challenges and horrors of war and the book became a publishing juggernaut, selling 2.5 million copies in 22 languages in its first 18 months in print. It has since become a classic of the genre; a war novel that tells of life on the front lines from the perspective of a soldier who has actually experienced the fears, triumphs and intense mental anguish soldiers in the thick of battle typically endure. The book also provides a unique perspective on the difficulties soldiers face in returning from war and attempting to re-enter life as civilians. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
