This volume brings together a wide variety of introductory and in-depth essays on Remarque's classic war novel.

Murdoch's introduction examines the novel's often overlooked subtleties of tone, characterization, and plot, and Ruth Franklin, writing on behalf of The Paris Review, reflects on Remarque's startling direct style and his relevance to twenty-first-century readers.

Critical Contexts

Critical Readings
A collection of classic and contemporary essays dive into the novel's key contexts and themes, offer close readings of the title, compare the novel beside German war literature, and provide information on the 1930 film adaptation.

Reviews
“ "This collection of critical essays is divided into three main parts—a history of the book and its author, and the Paris Review perspective, the novel in its historical and literary context and close readings of the novel through several lenses."
