About the Author

ERICH MARIA REMARQUE 1898 – 1970

was a German-born novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), based on his experience in the Imperial German Army during World War I, was translated into 29 languages and was both lauded and vilified. The book had several film adaptations. Remarque's anti-war themes led to his condemnation by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as "unpatriotic". All his books printed prior to 1932 were burned by German protesters. He wrote many anti-war books, a number of which were made into films. Remarque became a citizen of the United States in 1947 and continued writing. He lived in Switzerland until his death in 1970.
