All Quiet on the Western Front

A group of young people took the initiative to rush to the battlefield because of their fanaticism. There are no longer avenues of poplar trees there, the deep sky can no longer tolerate their pain, and their families can only live a difficult life in the rear. They can only drag their tired bodies forward and charge forward! Bullets and howitzers are reapers of death. Who would think that they are not 20 years old when they shoot? They used to be farmers, workers, students, teachers... But now they are nothing. The seven friends fell one after another, their lives frozen under the ruins and trenches. They knew they would never see each other again, so every separation was their final farewell. In October 1918, Paul passed away, peacefully. The only battle report was: no war on the Western Front. But there is still a mother asking from behind: "Will my son come back? Where is he?" To be honest, I couldn't stop crying anymore.

The description and translation are spot on. However, I would like to refute the statement in the introduction that "those who have watched it will unconditionally oppose all wars." No way, man, no way. If you feel that war is cruel and anti-war after reading this book, go to the Nanjing Memorial Hall and take a look. You will no longer be anti-war in an instant, but will fully support the anti-aggression war.

When one has seen too much death, it is difficult to understand the overwhelming sadness of someone's death. No one who has not personally experienced the war can write this sentence. Anyone who hopes to express himself in war will feel guilty for his previous thoughts after reading this book.

Sometimes I feel inexplicable, saying that human beings have made progress, but in the 21st century they still cannot catch up with their ideological level at that time. Maybe this is the greatness of the author. The most fascinating thing is that the world is huge and maternal love is sacred. There are only bad children in the world, and there are no bad parents.

The author's writing style is frank and concise. As time and war progress, the scenery becomes increasingly bleak, and friends are devoured by artillery fire one by one. A lot of thinking on Paul's part, a lot of struggling. There is no praising, no taking for granted, and no retreating. They are so real and so painful. It's worth watching to see the people in the war and learn from the pain. I really like this book, it's hard to express my feelings in words. Human cannibalism is too heavy. What's even more serious is that the perpetrators of atrocities are not willing to kill. They just want to live, but they can only struggle to survive in the shadow of war all their lives, and their souls are wandering in a society that is difficult to adapt to and has not established relationships.

As written on the title page of the book, "This book is neither an accusation nor a confession. It is just an attempt to describe a generation of people who, even if they escaped the shells, were still destroyed by the war." The author uses a first-person approach to describe the protagonist Paul Boymer and his classmates, the war Friends, during the four-year war, from the initial "patriotic enthusiasm" that was devoted to this so-called war of "defending the homeland", to witnessing and experiencing the terrible casualties and the devastation of the war, the physical pain, mental sorrow and doubts about German militarism and the purpose of participating in the war were left.

The description is very real. When reading it alone at night, you can feel the despair and confusion on the battlefield of World War I. The author's reflections on the war are also thought-provoking. The end of the book is even more captivating, elevating the whole book. He fell in October 1918. The entire front line was so peaceful and calm that day. There was only one sentence in the army report: All peace on the Western Front.

A Western literary novel with the theme of war. Its content is roughly similar to that of ordinary war novels, but it is not exactly the same. Ordinary war novels mainly focus on the story structure of the success or failure of war strategies. Although it also reflects the tragic fate of war and the suffering of the people, this is not the main focus. This work mainly reflects the tragedy of war and the world longing for peace through the description of war. This work can reflect the aspirations of the people at the bottom after the First World War.

I had read several fragments of this book elsewhere. At that time, I was shocked by the cruelty of the war, and I only felt lucky that I did not have to face it. But after reading this book in its entirety, I was more impressed than shocked. The war made the teenagers numb in the shortest possible time, with no hope in sight. They watched their classmates and comrades-in-arms dying, fearing that they would tell their families the news. The hateful enemy on the battlefield may be a kind father or a filial child. The war makes them lose their past and future and become beyond recognition. In the book, the author expresses his thoughts through the discussion between the protagonist and his comrades about the war. The war may be started by everyone who may benefit from the war, but it is definitely not started by those who lose their lives due to the war. I think as the introduction to this book says, anyone who reads this book will unconditionally oppose war. This is the most precious thing this book brings to readers - reflections on war.

Anyone who reads this book will not like war; anyone who reads this book will hate Hitler and his supporters. Have you ever seen a war horse trip over its own intestines? Have you ever seen a soldier who was about to die and his comrades actually coveted his boots? What's even more tragic is that everyone (including us readers) thought this was normal. In war, death is like a kind old lady. I think this book is very educational for today's Chinese people. Nowadays, some young people - to be honest - idolize NC!

After reading it, I always felt like I was among the broken limbs, surrounded by the screams of the hospital. My comrades left one by one, and we had nothing left. He is obviously innocent, but he is bombarded by the flames of war. He is obviously kind, but he wants to kill the "enemy" with his own hands. In the smoke of gunpowder, the difference between enemy and friend is only an order. The body rotted in hunger, cold and fear, and the spirit was weakened in the gunfire. Alas, fortunately, now I open the window and see the bright sunshine. I have never been so afraid of the passing of peace. Peace is really important [crying][crying][crying]

An ordinary person was so humble in the face of war. His thoughts can travel through time and space, allowing us to be immersed in the situation a hundred years later, but it cannot change the reality. The more cruel World War II broke out not long after.

I don't understand why ordinary people like war. If one day it does come, we will only be the next printer (the enemy killed by Paul in the trenches). I hope there will be peace in Palestine soon

On one side is beautiful scenery, on the other side is cruel hell. The cruelty of the battlefield described in this book is more terrifying than any World War I documentary I have ever seen, and it is more critical than the 1930 version of the movie. War creates wealth for the rich and misery for the poor

This book and the good soldier Svejke, one is in Germany and the other is in Austria-Hungary. The two books use different styles to describe the experiences of Confederate soldiers. Fortunately, when I read this book, I was already standing, otherwise this deep feeling of sadness would have made me breathless. It's so classic. When I was young, I read The Good Soldier Szeik and I just thought it was funny. Maybe it's time to read it again.

War is an infinite destruction of life. No matter what kind of war, the fundamental purpose of ordinary people in the war is to survive. The happiness that is readily available in ordinary life has become the infinite yearning of soldiers during the war. Therefore, no matter what kind of person advocates war, we must be vigilant. If war becomes the norm in people's lives, it must be a tragedy of life.

A very realistic description of war. Everyone who has read All Quiet on the Western Front will no longer wish for or praise war. May the world be at peace.

A girl walked up to the patrolling squad, smiled and asked if they could take a photo. The soldiers were delighted. The girl is very beautiful. How can gentlemen not accept a reasonable proposal from a beautiful lady? So they stayed at their youngest moment forever. It's a typo, I feel bad. How can gentlemen not accept it?

Very, Zhiyu's book expresses the cruelty, helplessness, and despair of war from a first-person perspective. The full text is completely incomprehensible to me in this era. I feel very emo after reading it.

From being full of patriotic enthusiasm to having deep doubts and disgust towards war, only peace can truly release humanity. There is no war on the Western Front, but in fact the death and sacrifice on the battlefield have never stopped. Stealing a goose is one of the few tender moments. "The front line is a creepy whirlpool. Even under the quiet water far away from its center, people can feel the suction that pulls people towards the whirlpool, slowly, inextricably, and almost irresistibly." "The war destroyed us all."

An anti-war classic that everyone must read. Only those who have experienced war will become the purest anti-war people and issue the most heart-wrenching, sincere and powerful anti-war declarations. As a witness of World War I, the author of this book integrates his own experience into the text. When cruelty and possession conflict with sin and darkness, when human nature is clearly destroyed in the confusing flames of war, who can know the weight of the confrontation that takes place in the darkness and smoke?

The reason for fighting is often promoted as defending the homeland, but when these soldiers return home from the battlefield, they find that the telepathy between them and their hometown has disappeared. Bullets hit others, but they open a hole in your heart.

The war is so cruel. It drags young men who have never seen the world to the battlefield. By the time the war is over, they have long ceased to exist. Even their corpses have been devoured by the continuous rain, swamps, and rats and flies in the trenches.

"In October 1918, Paul was killed in action. That day, the entire front line was silent, and only one sentence was written in the military newspaper: All Quiet on the Western Front." Through the true description of the war by Remarque, an eyewitness of World War I, he tried to present the cruelty of war and anti-war ideas. It uses a first-person narrative to describe the process of experiencing the war from a personal perspective. It also includes photos from the First World War and oral accounts of those who experienced it. War ends everything, whether it's emotions, life, or anything else. May there never be a war on the Western Front.

There are a large number of books promoting passionate heroism and tragic scenes of soldiers dying. But they have forgotten that among those thousands of bones, there are still a large number of young people who may not be willing to die. They haven't even really tasted life yet.

It's good to read, there aren't many chapters, but the reflection on the war is intense. It's a rare anti-war book [Like]

A classic military memoir, a must-read

In the first person, I saw a young soldier who was a soldier. In that era of heavy artillery fire, whether he was struggling physically or mentally, I deeply realized the cruelty of war. Worth watching to miss the present moment.

It is a really good book, anti-war, and many of the descriptions make people truly feel the cruelty of war. Children who should have been in school, brave puppies, died without anyone knowing. Paul also died, a month before the end of the war, and that day, the newspaper published, "All Quiet on the Western Front"

Only after reading the whole book can you know what war is. War is not about tanks and planes roaring upward. War is about pain and loss. The country has lost its people, the family has lost its men, and people have lost their lives. Everything is being lost. There are some very complex battlefields in this article, and there are also some "happiness", but this only means greater loss. There is never comfort in war, and comfort represents greater suffering.
