Spark of Life
About This Novel
This book is a bloody work written by Remarque at the peak of his creative period, illuminating all the nameless people swallowed up by the cruel era. Newly released after being out of print for 40 years. Published in 1952, this book is Remarque's only novel with the theme of life in a Nazi concentration camp. In June 1946, Remarque learned that his youngest sister Everred had been executed for defaming the country in 1943, so he decided to create a work dedicated to her sister. 509, He calls himself by the number and lets others call him that. After spending more than ten years in the Nazi concentration camp, he was no longer a human being, and he no longer wanted to be one, which would only crush his spirit. This spring, as the sound of artillery fire got closer and closer, it seemed that the moment when the barbed wire fence collapsed was not far away. Maybe it would be tomorrow, a tomorrow that could only be reached after doing everything possible to avoid contagious death.
