Часи, коли народитися, не обирають. Життя героїв Ремарка, як і його самого, припало на лихоліття. Війна, що ламає долі, втрата ілюзій, еміграція, хиткість та безнадія... Але, незважаючи на будь-які випробування, люди не втрачають ані мужності, ані внутрішньої сили та залишаються спроможними на самопожертву, справжню дружбу та велике кохання...

About the author
Erich Maria Remarque
211 books6,034 followersErich Maria Remarque was a German novelist best known for All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), a landmark anti-war novel based on his experiences in World War I. The book became an international bestseller, defining a new genre of veterans’ literature and inspiring multiple film adaptations. Its strong anti-war themes led to condemnation by the Nazi regime, which banned and burned his works.
Born Erich Paul Remark in 1898, he adopted the surname Remarque to honor his French ancestry. He served on the Western Front during World War I, where he was wounded, and later pursued various jobs, including teaching, editing, and technical writing. After the massive success of All Quiet on the Western Front, he wrote several other novels addressing war and exile, such as The Road Back, Three Comrades, and Arch of Triumph. His outspoken opposition to the Nazi regime forced him into exile in Switzerland and later the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1947.
Remarque’s personal life included high-profile relationships with actresses Marlene Dietrich and Paulette Goddard, the latter of whom he married in 1958. In 1943, his youngest sister, Elfriede, was executed by the Nazis for anti-regime remarks, an event that deeply affected him. He spent his later years in Switzerland, where he continued writing. His final completed novel, The Night in Lisbon (1962), was another bestseller.
He died in 1970 at the age of 72, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to shape discussions on war and its consequences.

Найбільше сподобалась "Ніч в Лісабоні" - саме завдяки ній така оцінка. А от такої кількості одруківок на квадратний сантиметр тексту ще м не бачив у жодній книжці. Редактор у цьому виданні і не валявся. Ще й перекладено, напевно, з російської, а не з оригіналу. Сумно ...
