About This Novel
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is a representative work of anti-war novels in the world. It tells the story of the protagonist Paul Boymer and his classmates who were incited by chauvinist education and joined the First World War with "patriotic enthusiasm". During the war, he witnessed the horrific casualties and the devastation of war on the human soul, and witnessed the inhumanity of war. The initial "patriotic fervor" was gone, leaving only pain and doubts about German militarism and the purpose of participating in the war. Clichéd slogans were blown away in a brutal barrage. The idealism of young people cannot withstand the hail of bullets and brutal fighting. Their illusions were shattered. Their only motivation is to survive, and their spiritual support is the friendship formed in the common destiny on the front line. The novel reflects the tragic experiences of a generation of German youth on the battlefield and indicts the evils of imperialist war. This book was translated by Qiu Yuanwei, a teacher from the German Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University, based on the German classic version. The translation is faithful, smooth, vivid and vivid.

The divine way is permeable, and the principles of heaven are difficult to study. If you read a lot of books, you will be able to master them.
