Sin Novedad En El Frente

Sin Novedad En El Frente

Converted by millions of readers, generation after generation, into the great anti-war classic, All Quiet on the Front is a work of brutal denunciation where Remarque reflects part of his experiences as a combatant in the First World War. With pure realism and closeness, Paul Baumer -alter ego of the writer- narrates the fate of a group of soldiers during the First World War. His talent for transmitting the deepest emotions of the human being, through almost cinematographic images expressed in clear and direct language, leaves an indelible mark on the reader. This inclement and truthful account of the daily life of a soldier was born from Remarque's pen with the desire to be the voice of an entire "lost generation"; shortly after its publication, it became, on its own merits, a reference work in 20th century literature
