All quiet on the western front

One by one the boys begin to fall… 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. The feeling of youth betrayed, and the deceptively simple indictment of war, made this international bestseller about the First World War probably the most famous anti-war novel ever written.
