Erich Maria Remarque

Chto ostaetsja u ljudej, zakhlebyvajuschikhsja v ognennom vodovorote vojny? Chto ostaetsja u ljudej, u kotorykh otnjali nadezhdu, ljubov i, po suti, dazhe samu zhizn? Chto ostaetsja u ljudej, u kotorykh ne ostalos prosto nichego? Vsego-to - iskra zhizni. Slabaja, no negasimaja. Iskra zhizni, chto daet ljudjam silu ulybatsja na poroge smerti. Iskra sveta v kromeshnoj tme...

V Biblii skazano: "Vozljubi blizhnego svoego". No - kak vozljubit blizhnego svoego, esli blizhnie tvoi zhelajut lish skhvatit tebja i ubit? Ty bezhish ot smerti, stavshej realnostju, ot ada strashnykh getto, ot beznadezhnosti - k nadezhde... No nadezhda mozhet obmanut. I togda - "plachte ne ob ushedshikh, a ob ostavshikhsja...".

"surely the greatest of all war books"- THE GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER (Britain) "unflinching ... the power to shock" - THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE (Britain) "unrelenting realism "-THE NEW YORK TIMES (USA) All new (2024) translation, not a reprint. Now an Oscar-winning film by Netflix. Illustrated with rare photographs. (Paperback and hardcover editions are in black & white. Color may be available only in select e-book editions.) This is a new (2024) translation in American-English of the legendary, German antiwar novel, All Quiet on the Western Front. This edition is expressly designed for American readers to be easier to read than older British-English editions. This new text uses modern military terms and clearer descriptions of European battlefields. The translator is the military expert and award-winning editor David W. Bradford. The original author, Erich Maria Remarque, was a German soldier who was severely wounded during the First World War of 1914-1918. From his experiences came perhaps the greatest war novel ever. This new 2024 translation revitalizes and brings alive for American readers this classic novel of infantry combat and tragic loss. Rare photographs of young Germans at war illustrate the new text. The images confirm the haunting realism of All Quiet on the Western Front. In this new American-English translation, the German characters are portrayed with remarkable clarity and universal humanity. They could be soldiers of any nation in any war. (By contrast, the widely reprinted 1929 translation in British-English is heavily reliant on British slang and culture, e.g., German soldiers supposedly exclaiming "good Blighty," and "by Jove.") In this new text, American readers will gain fresh insight into the haunted German youth who fought and died upon the battlefields of France over a century ago. Their generation was morally, as well as physically, scarred by the First World War. That tragedy led to the even greater catastrophe of the Second World War two decades later. This new American-English translation of All Quiet on the Western Front is not to be missed. Boston Hill Press is a quality publisher of books in history, biography, fiction, and religion. From the new introduction: "All Quiet on the Western Front embeds us with a fictional, but representative company of German soldiers fighting in France. ... The global tragedy of the First World War, writ large, becomes their personal nightmare. These naive, young Germans fight and die in France, far from home, without ever really knowing why." What people have said about All Quiet on the Western Front: "damned good"- ERNEST HEMINGWAY, NOBEL PRIZE WINNER FOR LITERATURE "surely the greatest of all war books" - THE GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER (Britain) "unflinching ... the power to shock" - THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE (Britain) "unrelenting realism of battle action. ... beyond criticism" - NEW YORK TIMES (USA) "powerful ... strong and vivid" - THE ATLANTIC MAGAZINE (USA) "an almost unparalleled publishing phenomenon. ... a global event" -THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE (USA) Comments may refer to different editions. All Quiet on the Western Front has been translated into English (from German) at least four times. Dozens of translations in other languages also exist.

An immediate sensation when it was published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide since then, making it the best-selling German novel of all time. Its impact is indisputable: it has been adapted for film, television, and other media; has influenced all subsequent works of war literature; and has been taught in high school and college classes ever since.Until now, one translation--published in 1929, and very much a product of its time--has introduced most readers in English to Remarque's wrenching portrait of the horrors of trench warfare. Now, nearly a century later, renowned translator Kurt Beals recaptures the energy and descriptive force of the German original, rendering Remarque's distinctly terse, telegraphic prose into a contemporary idiom, conveying for a new generation the immediacy and intensity of this classic novel.

" A] gripping new translation." --Samantha Power, from the Foreword The novel that has done more than any other to inspire opposition to war, in a major new translation that captures its undiminished literary power for a new generation With a Foreword by Samantha Power, the Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times bestselling war correspondent, human rights advocate, and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations A Penguin Classics Hardcover Galvanized by youthful idealism and patriotic fervor, eighteen-year-old Paul B umer and his schoolmates enlist in the German army at the onset of World War I, but their dreams of heroism shatter beneath the first shells of the bombardment. What they find on the front is not the glorious battle they were promised but a slaughter, and their everyday struggle becomes one not for their country but for their survival. Paul and his fellow soldiers form close bonds, but even their companionship is not enough of a shield when the next shell strikes. All Quiet on the Western Front is the bestselling German book of all time: Since its publication in 1929, it has sold more than twenty million copies, been translated into more than fifty languages, and been adapted into three acclaimed films. In this brilliant new translation, Maria Tatar draws on her native knowledge of German and her lifelong engagement with German literature to give a new generation of readers a version that comes closest to the lyrical tragedy of the original. Her translation reminds us once again--at a time when we are more divided than ever--of our shared humanity, and of the history we must remember so we do not repeat it.

Nad on pagulased, varjud, kes rändavad hämaras maailmas. Juudi noormees Ludwig Kern ja natside koonduslaagrist põgenenud tantsijanna Ruth Holland... Nende vahel tärkab armastus, mis on lootus lootusetus olukorras. Aga nendel, kes on kõik kaotanud, on miski, mis neid teistest eristab: nad ei karda enam midagi. Välja arvatud see, et nad võivad kaotada ka teineteise. Erich Maria Remarque'i romaan "Armasta oma ligimest" on poeetiline ja liigutav lugu armastuse jõust ajal, mil see on kõige raskemini leitav. See on lugu ellujäämisest ja vastuhakust, armastades oma ligimest.
