When talking about the First World War, one work by Erich Maria Remarque always comes to mind.
'All Quiet on the Western Front.'
This is a story about German boys who, influenced by patriotic propaganda, go to war, unaware that what lies ahead of them is not the glory of heroes, but disability and death...
Every day of the war takes the lives of someone's fathers and sons, and meanwhile the newspapers dispassionately report: 'All Quiet on the Western Front...'
This book is not an accusation, not a confession.
This is an attempt to tell about the generation that was destroyed by the war, about those who became its victims, even if they managed to escape the shells and hide from the bullets.
Author: Erich Maria Remarque
