All Quiet on the Western Front is a novel by German writer Erich Maria Remarque, published in 1929. The work describes the brutality of World War I from the perspective of a young German soldier, Paul Bäumer. Through his experiences and those of his companions, Remarque offers a scathing critique of war and the dehumanization it produces in individuals. The novel is an anti-war plea that invites reflection on the suffering and loss of innocence on the front.
Erich Maria Remarque was a German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), based on his experience in the Imperial German Army during World War I, was an international bestseller which created a new literary genre of veterans writing about conflict. The book was adapted to film several times. Remarque's anti-war themes led to his condemnation by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as "unpatriotic". He was able to use his literary success and fame to relocate to Switzerland as a refugee, and to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.
