Gardner Sullivan, starring Louis Wolheim, Lew Ayres, John Wray, Arnold Lucy, and Ben Alexander. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1930 for its producer Carl Laemmle Jr., the Academy Award for Directing for Lewis Milestone, and the Academy Award for Outstanding Production. It was the first all-talking non-musical film to win the Best Picture Oscar. It was adapted again in 1979 by Delbert Mann, this time as a television film starring Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine. The original title in German, IM WESTEN NICHTS NEUES, literally translates to "Nothing new in the West." Wildly successful upon publication both in Germany and abroad, the book decried the depredations of war and its catastrophic human toll was inevitably banned in 1930 as the Nazi party grew in power. It remains one of our most valuable reminders of the true costs of war.

Not price clipped (7s 6d), no inscriptions, contemporary advert advertising the work of translator A. W. Wheen tipped in, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 319pp. Possibly the most famous anti war novel ever written. 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. Erich Maria Remarque (b. Erich Paul Remark 1898-1970), was a German novelist. His landmark novel 'All Quiet on the Western Front' about the German military experience of World War I, was an international bestseller which created a new literary genre, and was subsequently adapted into a film of the same name in 1930 directed by Lewis Milestone. It was subsequently adapted for television in 1979, starring Ernest Borgnine. During WWI, Remarque was conscripted into the German Imperial Army at the age of 18. In 1917, he was transferred to the Western Front, 2nd Company, Reserves, Field Depot of the 2nd Guards Reserve Division at Hem-Lenglet. On 26th June 1917 he was posted to the 15th Reserve Infantry Regiment and fought in the trenches between Torhout and Houthulst. On 31st July 1917 he was wounded by shell shrapnel in the left leg, right arm and neck, and after being medically evacuated from the field was repatriated to an army hospital in Germany where he spent the rest of the war recovering from his wounds, before being demobilized from the army. On 10th May 1933, at the initiative of the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Remarque's writing was publicly declared as 'unpatriotic' and was banned in Germany. Copies were removed from all libraries and restricted from being sold or published anywhere in the country. Germany was rapidly descending into a totalitarian society, leading to mass arrests of elements of the population of which the new governing order disapproved and Remarque fled Germany to live at his villa in Switzerland. Remarque's French background as well as his Catholic faith were also publicly attacked by the Nazis. They continued to decry his writings in his absence, proclaiming that anyone who would change the spelling of his name from the German 'Remark' to the French 'Remarque' could not be a true German. The Nazis further made the false claim that Remarque had not seen active service during World War I. In 1938, Remarque's German citizenship was revoked. In 1939, he and his ex-wife were remarried to prevent her repatriation to Germany. Just before the outbreak of World War II in Europe, they left Porto Ronco, Switzerland for the United States. They became naturalised citizens of the United States in 1947. Arthur Wesley Wheen MM & Two Bars (1897-1971), was an Australian soldier, translator and museum librarian, best known for translating Remarque's work. An exceptionally scarce book in this early impression.

Spine completely clean and unfaded. Internal folds are uncreased. [Please see scans] ***195 mm x135 mm. 320 pages. ***'This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.' [Quote taken from the beginning of the book] ***'I stand up. I am very quiet. Let the months and years come, they bring me nothing more, they can bring me nothing more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear. The life that has borne me through these years is still in my hands and my eyes. Whether I have subdued it, I know not. But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is within me.' ***'He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come.' [Quotes taken from the last two pages of the novel] ***'"All Quiet on the Western Front" is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I. The book describes the German soldiers' extreme physical and mental stress during the war, and the detachment from civilian life felt by many of these soldiers upon returning home from the front. The novel was first published in Nov and Dec 1928 in the German newspaper "Vossische Zeitung" and in book form in late Jan 1929. The book and its sequel, "The Road Back" (1930), were among the books banned and burned in Nazi Germany. "All Quiet on the Western Front" sold 2.5 million copies in 22 languages in its first 18 months in print. Although publishers had worried that interest in World War I had waned more than 10 years after the armistice, Remarque's realistic depiction of trench warfare from the perspective of young soldiers struck a chord with the war's survivors - soldiers and civilians alike - and provoked strong reactions, both positive and negative, around the world. [Wiki] ***An early printing of the first edition in English of "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. Of interest to literary academics and collectors of First World War literature. Early editions from 1929 are now quite scarce, especially in such near fine condition. Copies from this period which retain a complete surviving dustwrapper are exceedingly scarce. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Superb copy of Remarque's best-selling novel, based on his experiences in the German Imperial Army during World War I. A monumental work by the German author, who at the age of 18 went straight from school into the army. "During the course of the war his mother died and all his friends were killed. At the end of the war he found himself alone in the world.His book arose out of the consideration that so many men of his generation, who were yet still young, nevertheless lived a friendless, embittered resigned life, without knowing why. He thought about this circumstance and came to the conclusion that we all to-day still suffer from the consequences of the war. His book sets out to describe three things: the war, the fate of a generation, and true comradeship" (from rear flap). Basis for Lewis Milestones' Oscar-winning 1930 film adaptation, starring Louis Wolhiem, Lew Ayres, John Wray, Arnold Lucy, and Ben Alexander.

Remarque comments in the preface that ?[This book] will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.? This internal destruction can be found as early as the first chapter as Paul comments that, although all the boys are young, their youth has left them. In addition, the massive loss of life and negligible gains from the fighting are constantly emphasized. Soldiers? lives are thrown away by their commanding officers who are stationed comfortably away from the front, ignorant of the daily terrors of the front line.
