The book, All Quiet on the Western Front ( Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics ) ISBN# 9781101908082 in Hardcover by Erich Maria Remarque may be ordered in bulk quantities. This is the testament of Paul Bumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Remarque's stated intention-'to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war'-remains as powerful and relevant as ever, a century after that conflict's end. Remarque spares the reader nothing - he hits us in the face with the gritty details of life in the trenches, waits for us to recover, and then hits. Books about war should not be sweet and cheery, but should realistically portray the horrors that man inflicts upon himself. Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel not only portrays in vivid detail the combatants' physical and mental trauma, but dramatizes as well the tragic detachment from civilian life felt by many upon returning home. All Quiet on the Western Front is hideous, but hideous in a positive way. Through the ensuing years of horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another.
