All Quiet on the Western Front: Erich Maria Remarque

by SparkNotes

"I am young, Iam twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow..."
Paul Baumer enlists with his classmates in the WW1 German Army. Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation against one another.
