The fate of Paul Boehmer, his frontline friends, and his peers excited people all over the world. And did not go into the shadows, even when the generation that passed the hell of the First World War, ended its earthly existence.
We offer the reading public a new edition of the novel "On the Western Front without Change", the text of which is conceptualized from the point of view of today's day and provided with comments. People who read the novel in 1929, were well aware of the realities of the world in which the heroes of the writer live, fight and die. Now, these details have faded under the pressure of pictures of later wars, and primarily the Second World War. Moreover, Remarque did not intend to describe in detail the nuances of military life. He set a task to paint an expressive picture of hell, a meat grinder, which grinded up a whole generation. But the modern reader, in our opinion, needs to know the strict particularities of front life and - the main peripetias of the First World War. The very war that, as some historians believe, began to destroy European civilization, launched a process that may have already become irreversible.
