Called the greatest war novel ever written it is the story of Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army of World War I. These young men become enthusiastic soldiers, but their world of duty, culture, and progress breaks into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches.
Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the hatred that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another – if only he can come out of the war alive.
The book is filled with some of the most quotable passages ever written and by incidents, large and small, any young solder at any time in history could have experienced.
The “war to end all wars” certainly didn’t.
“This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front.”
Muller’s straightforward, simple delivery underscores the horror and hopelessness depicted in Remarque’s powerful WWI novel. Germany’s Iron Youth, represented by Paul Baumer and his friends, begin the war as teenagers sure of the justice of their cause and the glory that will be theirs. Reading with a calm, quiet sureness, which heightens the soul-destroying nightmare of Paul’s ordeal, Muller’s stunning performance demonstrates the reason for his huge following…. I don’t think anyone will ever do a better reading of this book.
A new rip from my own CD copy to replaces the old and flawed Demonoid copies on the site .
