| Notes: | You may be shocked when you first begin this novel: it is written from the German point of view. But what Remarque has to say about war and its effects on fighting men is universal. In the trenches, young Paul loses his friends, his innocence, his idealism, but never his humanity. Truly one of the most shattering books on warfare ever written. COMMENTS — Remarque was drafted into the German army at the age of 18 and was wounded several times. |
