All Quiet on the Western Front
From Shelf: The books we read in 2014
Remarque's tale of the young German soldiers of the First World War, and their disillusionment towards the glorification of the patriotism of warfare.
Narrated by Paul Baumer, a young man fighting on the French front, Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" describes the extreme circumstances of the German soldiers of the First World War. Paul and his friends volunteered to join the army after being swept up by the patriotic speeches of their teacher. But after undergoing several weeks of harsh training and experiencing the unimaginable horrors of life on the front, they have realised that the truth of warfare is not honourable, but terrible. Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes a biography of Erich Maria Remarque, theme discussions and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the story.
