"The Black Obelisk" (1956) is Remarque's celebrated novel, largely autobiographical.

Set in the difficult years after World War I, in a provincial German town, the hero works for a company selling tombstones... But money is tight, the country is suffering from horrific inflation, and he earns extra money by playing the organ in a hospital chapel. He finds love there, in the psychiatric ward...

"The Black Obelisk" is, on the one hand, a novel about the great power of love, capable of healing even the mentally ill; on the other, it is a philosophical reflection on God, religion, and the meaning of life; and, finally, it is a vivid historical portrait of an era in which the approaching fascism is becoming increasingly evident.
