RE: Three Tune Tuesday #177

I haven't read anything by this author, Erich Maria Remarque, but you've encouraged me to do some research on him. Thanks again.

oh! oh! meh... you will be getting tonns of pleasure, thats for sure, well, if your requests are slightly above the ones of silent majority...

There is a bunch of novells in his back catalogue, all of the novels are great, but some might be of more intrest to you - check the wiki?

"All Quiet on the Western Front" is a story about WW1 and the "lost generation" (not long ago there was another film adaptation - bad). It is almost his number one book.

"Three Comrades" is a story about a poor man's hopeless love for a girl dying of tuberculosis, written in the 1920s.

"The Black Obelisk" again is a novel about the lost generation of 1920-es, about life in the post-war Weimar German Republic, it describes how people survived during the galloping inflation and hourly price increases. I am used to open and reread this novel every time the money inflation accelerates in my poor country.

... and all others as well. I wish you a pleasant acquaintance with this amazing writer! For me, Remarque is much, much better than Ernest Hemingway. 😘
