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.

This set of books includes ten classic works by the German-American novelist Remarque. Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970), a German-American novelist, was born in a working-class family in Germany. He participated in World War I at the age of 18. After the war, he worked in various jobs such as teacher, reporter, and editor. In 1929, "All Quiet on the Western Front" was published, making him a world-famous writer. After the Nazis came to power, Remarque was forced to live in exile in the United States because of his anti-war stance. He did not return to Europe until 1948 and settled in Switzerland. Most of Remarque's works are autobiographical, with concise words and an objective and cold temperament in his lyrical writing. He has been compared to the German Hemingway. He wrote a total of fifteen novels, three screenplays and two collections in his lifetime, among which many works such as "All Quiet on the Western Front", "Arch de Triomphe", "March of Companions" and "The Age of Love and Death" were adapted into movies.
