All Quiet on the Western Front

By Erich Maria Remarque & Kurt Beals

Release : 2025-01-07

Genre : Fiction & Literature, Books, Classics, Historical Fiction

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
The greatest war novel of all time rendered in a taut, muscular, and urgent new translation.

An immediate sensation when it was published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide since then, making it the best-selling German novel of all time. Its impact is indisputable: it has been adapted for film, television, and other media; has influenced all subsequent works of war literature; and has been taught in high school and college classes ever since.

Until now, one translation—published in 1929, and very much a product of its time—has introduced most readers in English to Remarque’s wrenching portrait of the horrors of trench warfare. Now, nearly a century later, renowned translator Kurt Beals recaptures the energy and descriptive force of the German original, rendering Remarque’s distinctly terse, telegraphic prose into a contemporary idiom, conveying for a new generation the immediacy and intensity of this classic novel.
