A HIT NETFLIX FILM, WINNER OF 7 BAFTAS AND NOMINATED FOR 9 OSCARS

The most famous anti-war novel ever written.

One by one the boys begin to fall...

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. What follows is the moving story of a young 'unknown soldier' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.

Critic reviews

"Remarque's evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force." (The Times)

Amazing to hear

I really sympathized with the storyteller. His story was touching and really got me into his head and heart. Not a happy book to say the least, but still wonderful

The horror of war uncensored.

This book moved me immensely. It replaced the arbitrary conceptual soldier I had previously imagined and revealed the human being underneath.

Good book

I would have preferred to have a more germanic voice but besides that, brilliant audiobook

A must read/listen for everyone

I don't think any positive words would fit this book. The performance is good and it is well written, but the subject matter itself so tears at your soul that it is hard to consider those.

It is important that you complete this. While there are many stories of the first world war, this is one of the best. Consider while you listen that this is not just this story but that the war was full of stories like this, all over the front and on both sides.

Listened to this driving from Moab to Colorado Spr

Remarque captures the meaningless of WW1 and the difference between civilian and combatant life expertly.
The narrator is doing a great job and it has been a pleasure to listen to this book.
