Published in 1930. "Weekdays of a Volunteer: In the Trenches of World War I became one of the landmark novels about World War I, along with E. M. Remarque's On the Western Front Without Change, R. Aldington's Death of a Hero and E. Hemingway's Farewell to Arms. A participant in World War I, who went to the front as a volunteer from the third year of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University, Edlef Köppen created a "montage novel", where original documents - quotes from proclamations of Emperor Wilhelm II, decrees of the censorship authorities, newspaper reports are organically woven into the plot, and the prototype of the protagonist Adolf Reisiger is the author himself. "Weekdays of a Volunteer: In the Trenches of World War I" was one of tens of thousands of books publicly burned in Germany in 1933, and was not published in the FRG until 1976, and in the GDR until 1981. At the beginning of the century, the novel regained attention, was republished many times and translated into several languages.
