Summary |
Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, published in 1929, became an immediate sensation and remains the best-selling German novel with over twenty million copies sold. Its impact on war literature is significant, influencing many works and being adapted across multiple media. For decades, most English readers encountered the novel through a 1929 translation. Now, nearly a century later, Kurt Beals offers a fresh translation, capturing the original's raw energy and direct prose, making it accessible to a modern audience while preserving the intensity of Remarque's portrayal of trench warfare. |
