All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel of World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front, was an international sensation. Celebrated by countless readers for its moving depiction of the traumas suffered and the camaraderie shared in the trenches, the work also sparked controversy on all sides of the political spectrum, in which Remarque, now a celebrity, was claimed as a representative of various political causes. In this edition, Katharina Rout's fresh, engaging English translation of All Quiet is accompanied by an informative introduction and illuminating contextual materials that help situate Remarque's work among other literary and nonfictional accounts of the war experience and offer insight into how the novel was received. At the 7 Nov 2024 book launch celebrating the publication of her edition, Katharina Rout spoke about her translation of All Quiet on the Western Front; excerpts from her wide-ranging address can be found at this link.
