All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque - First German Edition
Here is your chance to own a true first edition of Erich Maria Remarque’s World War I classic “All Quiet on the Western Front.” This is the first German edition titled “Im Westen Nichts Neues.” The book is in very good condition, with tight binding, clean pages and minimal bumping.

This poignant novel by that delves into the harrowing experiences of German soldiers during the first World War. The story is narrated by Paul Bäumer, a young man who enlists in the army driven by patriotism and the influence of his teacher.
As the war unfolds, Paul and his comrades face the grim realities of trench warfare, grappling with the physical and psychological traumas inflicted by battle. The bonds formed between the soldiers offer fleeting moments of camaraderie amid the chaos and suffering. Remarque's narrative vividly captures the futility of war, illustrating how it strips away the innocence of youth and devastates lives, both on the front lines and at home.
The novel paints a stark picture of the inhumane conditions soldiers endure, including the constant threat of death, the disillusionment with glory, and the struggle for survival. Paul’s journey reflects a profound disconnection from society and the realization that the ideals of heroism and honor have been thoroughly obliterated by the harsh reality of combat. Ultimately, “All Quiet on the Western Front” serves as a powerful anti-war statement, emphasizing the deep scars left by conflict and the tragic cost of human life. A true classic worthy of any first edition collection.
