All Quiet on the Western Front
Overview & Summary
Paul Bäumer and his classmates enlist in the German army with patriotic enthusiasm at the outset of World War I, only to be shattered by the relentless horror of trench warfare, and Paul comes to feel that he and his generation have been permanently severed from any life outside the war. Erich Maria Remarque's 1928 novel is among the most influential anti-war novels ever written, prized for its unsparing depiction of the physical and psychological toll of combat from a German soldier's perspective.
