Publisher Description

La tragedia que fue la Primera Guerra Mundial (solo superada por la hecatombes de la segunda) produjo una cantidad de obras maestras de inclinacion anti-belica, de las cuales una de las mas famosas fue Sin Novedad en el Frente la historia de las batallas a traves de los ojos prosaicos de unos soldados que luchan y matan sin saber por que lo hacen. La idea de que jovenes apenas salidos de la adolescencia tengan que ir al frente y sentir sus horrores, crea lo que llamaron una generacion perdida y las causas de ella desde el punto de vista de quienes efectivamente luchaban es el fondo de esta obra magistral, donde la amargura y la resignacion son caracteristicas fundamentales.

Paul Baumer enlisted with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Youthful and enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other, if only he can come out of the war alive.

    " Literally my favorite historical fiction novel. I've re-read it multiple times. This is the most powerful fiction novel I've ever read, and I honestly felt that it wasn't fiction multiple times because of how well Remarque fleshes out the characters. One day, I hope to read it in its original language of German, but even then-the English translation was wonderful. By far my favorite book of all time. "

    " No one should read this book. Not because it's bad. It's not. It's great book that does not need any endorsement but such books should not have written. But they are. So you should read it. "

    " This novel and 1984 are the only novels I truly remember from high school. This is the first novel to make me cry and was my introduction to the ultimate sadness of war, the loss of innocence. "

    " This is the first war novel that I ever read willingly and I was not disappointed. The story surrounds a group of boys who are in the Western Front of WWI, and how they cope with the horrors of war and the death that follows. "

    " Interesting perspective from a young German soldier's view during WWI. A group of youths join the army and seem to age overnight as they witness war at its worst. My classic for the summer. "

    " I actually found myself loving this book even though I'm not generally a fan of war books. There was something about it that made it so not a war book, just a story that involved a war. I think it really helped that it was utterly lacking in politics as well. "

He fought on the Western Front and was wounded several times. He began his writing career as a journalist. Fame came with his first novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), which sold more than a million copies in its first year and created a new literary genre of veterans writing about conflict.
