'Our knowledge of life is limited to death' - Erich Maria Remarque
Remarque's novel All Quiet on the Western Front is a powerful piece of historical fiction, vividly depicting the horrors of the First World War through the eyes of a German serviceman, Paul Baumer, who in stark contrast to the typical war hero stories of the Great War is only a misled young serviceman, as were many of the soldiers consigned to life in the trenches.
