About this listen

Erich Maria Remarque's seminal novel, "All Quiet on the Western Front" details the harrowing experiences of Paul Bäumer, a young German soldier, and his comrades during World War I. The story vividly portrays the brutal realities of trench warfare, including bombardments, gas attacks, and hand-to-hand combat, while also exploring themes of lost innocence, the psychological toll of war, and the profound sense of camaraderie that develops among the soldiers. The excerpts illustrate their struggle for survival, their detachment from civilian life, and their growing disillusionment with the ideals that led them to war.
