All Quiet on the Western Front

'All Quiet on the Western Front', the masterwork by Erich Maria Remarque, is a beautiful statement on a generation of men shattered by war. It is widely regarded as the greatest war novel of all time and was publicly burned by the Nazis for being "e;degenerate."e; Paul Baumer and his classmates join the battle in the Western Front trenches of World War I, prodded to enroll by authoritative figures who would not risk their lives to do the same, and driven by a romantic sense of patriotism. The relentless bombardment and brutal struggle for survival quickly demoralize him. After years of battling, Paul and the men he serves with are defined by the violence they encounter. Desperate to maintain their dignity despite becoming further and further removed from the society they are fighting for, they become men. With careful study, this graphic novel meticulously recreates the classic tale in vivid detail. The horrors of the Western Front are brought to life in a daring new way by the realistic portrayals of clothing, weapons, trenches, and death.
