All Calm on the Western FrontErich Maria Stratégie was born on June 22, 1898 in Germany. In 1916, when he was 18 years old, Remarque was drafted into the German army to fight in World War I. He was wounded several times and in 1929 he published All Quiet on the Western Front. Note has stripped all romanticism from the war experience in this anti-war novel. His novel instantly became an international hit with almost everyone. Everyone except the Nazi Party. After the publication of All Quiet on the Western Front, the Nazis accused Remark of being unpatriotic. Note did not fight back against Nazi attacks out of fear of growing Nazi control in Germany. Despite the Nazis' hostility towards him, Remarque published a sequel to his first novel, entitled The Road Back. This novel recounts the post-war experience of German citizens. In 1933, the Nazis banned many books, including Note's two novels, and held a bonfire to burn copies of the books. Two years later, Remarque had his German citizenship revoked. In exile, Remarque traveled to the United States where he eventually obtained citizenship. Although he seemed to have escaped the wrath of Nazi hatred during World War II, his sister was beheaded by the Nazis due to their hatred of her. The novel All Quiet on the Western Front is a moving novel about a group of soldiers, particularly one named Paul. Baumer, in the First World War. Paul is the narrator who gives a bitter point of view against the romantic ideals of war. Paul describes the horrors he sees around him. The reader sees how the people he was close to get killed. Joseph Behm's painful and graphic first death kills any initial thought of a romanticized war and causes the soldiers to despise and distrust their elders who had so confidently sold them the idea of ​​war. With this first loss, everyone realized that the war would change lives forever. You watch as Paul, who basically represents any ordinary soldier, begins to realize that the things he cherished now and from that point on no longer mean anything to him. War becomes the only life they know. To add to the inner conflict, most of these soldiers seemed trapped in a period between boyhood and manhood. The only thing that kept Paul going throughout the war was the camaraderie of the other soldiers. Very quickly, soldiers begin to die. Paul's friend Leer dies of a thigh wound and even at the end of the war, Katczinsky, the forty-year-old with whom Paul is related, dies in Paul's arms after being transported to safety..
