Sobre este artículo
First American Edition, First Edition in English (translated from German by A.W. Wheen). Gorgeous dust jacket art by Wenck. A thrilling World War One novel which follows up Remarque's famous, All Quiet on the Western Front. Fine in a VG+ / near fine dust jacket, with a 1/2 inch closed tear, scratch, and some edge wear on the jacket front. Octavo. Overall, an excellent copy, one of the best we've seen.
Sinopsis
Erich Maria Remarque , who was born in Germany, was drafted into the German army during World War I. Through the hazardous years following the war he worked at many occupations: schoolteacher, small-town drama critic, race-car driver, editor of a sports magazine. His first novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, was published in Germany in 1928. A brilliant success, selling more than a million copies, it was the first of many literary triumphs. When the Nazis came to power, Remarque left Germany for Switzerland. He rejected all attempts to persuade him to return, and as a result he lost his German citizenship, his books were burned, and his films banned. He went to the United States in 1938 and became a citizen in 1947. He later lived in Switzerland with his second wife, the actress Paulette Goddard. He died in September 1970.
