Life of ordinary people, inflation, war, bureaucracy, exile, loss of innocence and camaraderie are all intricately shown within his stories. With another major military conflict happening in Europe now, getting a glimpse into the past of a country that started the biggest war in history is at least an educating experience. From "All Quiet on the Western Front" to "The Black Obelisk", Remarque displays so many topics that are still relatable to this day and ideas that will most likely resonate with everyone.Īlthough his stories take place in the first half of 20th century and mainly in Germany, there is a LOT that can be learned from them. I've recently finished a few books by Erich Maria Remarque, and they are all fantastic.
