All Quiet on the Western Front a Novel, a Film and History
All Quiet on the Western Front A novel, a Film and history 1929, 1930, 1979 All Quiet on the Western Front (German: Im Westen nichts Neues) is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I. The book describes the German soldiers' extreme physical and mental stress during the war, and the detachment from civilian life felt by many of these soldiers upon returning home from the front. From November 10 to December 9, 1928, All Quiet on the Western Front was published in serial form in Vossische Zeitung magazine. It was released in book form the following year - 1929- to smashing success, selling a million and a half copies that same year. Although publishers had worried that interest in the Great War had waned more than 10 years after the armistice, Remarque's realistic depiction of trench warfare from the perspective of young soldiers struck a chord with the war's survivors—soldiers and civilians alike—and provoked strong reactions, both positive and negative, around the world. With All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque emerged as an eloquent spokesperson for a generation that had been, in his own words, "destroyed by war, even though it might have escaped its shells." Remarque's harshest critics, in turn, were his countrymen, many of whom felt the book denigrated the German war effort, and that Remarque had exaggerated the horrors of war in order to further his pacifist agenda. Not surprisingly, the strongest voices against Remarque came from the emerging National Socialist (Nazi) Party, an ultranationalist group in Germany led by the future Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler.

THREE COMRADES, ARCH of TRIUMPH, SPARK of LIFE, a TIME to LOVEAND a TIME to DIE and His Very Recent Bestseller the BLACK OBELISK
STOLEN LOVE Bob had seen too much. First in the war. Then among the girls at the Café Internation- al, his "comrades" of the street. He moved among the lost and damned, living on borrowed dreams and stolen love. Lovely Patricia was just another refugee from boredom, more generous than most of the "soldiers of love." But when her terrible secret threatened their relationship, Bob knew he had to stay and help her fight back. Snatching warmth and pleasure on the run, their love became a burning protest against a corrupt and cynical world. "It is unlike any love story that you have read, written with a superb simplicity and a directness, in its background and in its characters, that stamp Remarque as a great novelist—more than a great narrator of the horrors of war." Boston HERALD A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Recognized as one of the world's outstanding novel- ists, Erich Maria Remarque was born in Osnabruck, Ger- many, and is now a United States citizen dividing his time between New York and Switzerland. 3/529 He established himself in the world of letters with the writing of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT and followed this great World War I novel with THREE COMRADES, ARCH OF TRIUMPH, SPARK OF LIFE, A TIME TO LOVEAND A TIME TO DIE and his very recent bestseller THE BLACK OBELISK. FROM THE REVIEWS "The author of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT has written a very different, but hardly less memorable novel in THREE COMRADES. Erich Maria Remarque's new novel is less bitter, less intense, than his former one; it is long rather than short—and about the most readable work of Action pub- lished in a long while.

All Quiet on the Western Front
‘Absorbing’ Gerald Kaufman, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year ‘Kelly’s use of the film’s troubled history of cuts, censorship, [and] banning in every country where it’s ever been shown explores cinema’s power in society ….’ Premiere ‘Kelly’s genuine passion for Milestone’s great film is infectious and justified.’ David Robinson, Times Higher Education Supplement ‘The research and the feeling for the film, is the most compelling of any such project I’ve ever encountered. It recalled such mem- ories that I was tearful when I finished reading it.’ Producer Arthur Gardner, who played a German soldier in All Quiet on the Western Front ‘Here for the first time, is the full story behind the first great masterpiece of the sound cinema … Kelly’s painstaking research has unearthed a wealth of detail, sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always illuminating. This is a worthy companion to the greatest war movie of all time.’ Professor Nicholas Cull, University of Leicester ‘This is a superb book, meticulously researched, compulsively readable and consistently fascinating’ Professor Jeffrey Richards, Lancaster University ‘[All Quiet on the Western Front ] provides the most detailed docu- mentation on the making of a classic of American cinema … There is evidence here of considerable and unique research.’ Anthony Slide, Classic Images ‘A concise, thorough and eloquent history of one of the most important – and influential of all American films.’ James Curtis, author of Between Flops: the life of Preston Sturges and New World of Gods and Monsters: the life of James Whale .

Remarque: Grammatical and Syntactic Aspect Volkova Alina Albertovna1, & Takhtarova Svetlana Salavatovna2 1Corresponding author, Department of theory and practice of translation, Institute of International Relations, Kazan Federal University; [email protected], [email protected] 2Department of theory and practice of translation, Institute of International Relations, Kazan Federal University; [email protected] Abstract The article is devoted to the identification of grammatical and syntactic means of language as a means of introducing the image of the main heroine of the novel “Arch of Triumph” by Erich Maria Remarque. Based on the analysis of the first chapter of the novel, it is concluded that the task of introducing and transmitting the image of the main heroine is realized by the author through the use of a number of grammatical constructions, in particular, various forms of the subjunctive, primarily relying on the modal meaning of optativity (desirability). In addition, the author reveals such stylistic technique as contrasting sentences in two moods: subjunctive and indicative, which serves to strengthen the contrast between the real and unreal, real and desirable, while realizing the author’s intention to immerse the reader in the world of doubts that torment the soul of the main character.

Having joined the army Paul and his comrades very soon realize that the air of patriotism that has urged them to enlist their names as soldiers in the battlefield was false. They are immediately confronted with the harsh realities of war. While recalling his schooldays, Paul remembers how his teacher Kantorek has urged them to enlist their names in the Front.
