Erich Maria Remarque's final novel. Perhaps his greatest. Perhaps his most powerful. Perhaps his most tragic.

The fate of German emigrants in America.

They fled fascism, using every possible and impossible means and methods. They fled to the last bastion of freedom and independence. However, for some reason, America is in no hurry to welcome them with open arms. The fugitives are met with the decent and friendly indifference of the inhabitants of a country that has long forgotten what war and totalitarian regime are. And each of the emigrants must rebuild their lives in a place where they are offered only one thing—to rely solely on themselves.
