novel “No changes on the western front” started the path of the German writer Erich Maria Remarque towards the heights of fame and made him one of the most significant chroniclers of the “lost generation” of the First World War. Right from the streaming giant”Netflix”, for the first time in the history of cinema, the writer’s compatriots also offer their point of view on the immortal work of Remarque, and their message about the inhumanity and senselessness of war undoubtedly exalts and overshadows the true horrors of war right here in the neighborhood.
Erich Maria Remarque’s anti-war novel published in late January 1929 about the collapse of the young German student Paul Baumer’s illusions during trench warfare and his inevitable death once became the best-selling book in German literature of all time. The writer managed to convincingly portray the terrible everyday life of a German soldier in the trenches – without dramatic exaggerations and bloody details – and his feelings not only for the war, but also for the search for his place in the world beyond. out of war. The novel was quickly translated into 26 languages. In Germany alone, almost half a million copies were sold in just a few months.
However, the story of the horrors of the First World War did not please the members of the National Socialist Party, who were rapidly striving for power at that time. They spread rumors that Remarque had adopted a false surname and was actually Kramer, who was a French Jew and hadn’t fought in World War I at all.
