Description

A beautiful hardback edition of the most famous anti-war novel ever written, translated by Brian Murdoch.

‘A necessary, shattering read’ Irish Times

In 1914, a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the ‘glorious war’.

With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. One by one the boys begin to fall…

Rediscover the iconic, moving story of a young ‘unknown soldier’ experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.

‘Remarque’s evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force’ The Times
