Notes:
In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the 'glorious war'. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young 'unknown soldier' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.In the 1930s Remarque's books were banned in Germany by the government. All Quiet on the Western Front was among works consigned to be publicly burnt in 1933 by the Nazis. Stores were ordered to stop selling his books. The film's premiere was disrupted by Nazi gangs, and Remarque was accused of pacifism.This volume is No. 9 in The Independent's Banned Books series, an exclusive collection of 25 censored titles and literary landmarks.
