About this listen

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)

Very well written book, the narrator did a fantastic job and the writing flows smoothly. The story is haunting, but it is told in a way that keeps the reader interested from start to finish. Truly a remarkable novel, and a must read.

A Harrowing Story Perfectly Read

For good reason, this is regarded as one of, if not the best depictions of life for a soldier in WW1. Hope, despair, mateship, courage, cowardice, insanity and every other emotion is wonderfully represented. I must read. An all time classic.

War and its horrible outcome

A literary masterpiece written with such beauty and reflective depth. The narrator’s voice and emotive sensitivity brought the story off the page and offered a moral window to comprehend the horrors of war and the vitality of the human heart. Five stars.

Heartbreaking melancholic reflections on the beauty of life in war

One of the best books ever written help convey the tragedy of war, and the loss of youth.
This should be studied in high school literature.
It is as important as Anne Frank's diary and Nadeem Aslam's 'The Blind Man's Garden' to help us learn from the horrors of the past and how e as people are affected on the individual level by events that often surpass the minute scope due to their scale.
The performance is nice and clear.

Everyone should read this book.
