Beals’s translation makes it clear why the book has sold millions of copies in almost every language, and been made into two major motion pictures―it is a moving story about war, all war, and not dated at all.\"― Michael Korda, author of \u003cem\u003eMuse of Fire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"A leaner, far more kinetic reading experience than that old Wheen translation...lively, unsentimental...a welcome invitation for a re-read.― Steve Donoghue, \u003cem\u003eOpen Letters Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"We all know how the story ends, but Beals’s taut, approachable translation casts the wartime classic in a fresh light.\"― \u003cem\u003eNew Criterion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest war novel of all time rendered in a taut, muscular, and urgent new translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn immediate sensation when it was published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque’s \u003cem\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front\u003c\/em\u003e has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide since then, making it the best-selling German novel of all time. Its impact is indisputable: it has been adapted for film, television, and other media; has influenced all subsequent works of war literature; and has been taught in high school and college classes ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, one translation―published in 1929, and very much a product of its time―has introduced most readers in English to Remarque’s wrenching portrait of the horrors of trench warfare. Now, nearly a century later, renowned translator Kurt Beals recaptures the energy and descriptive force of the German original, rendering Remarque’s distinctly terse, telegraphic prose into a contemporary idiom, conveying for a new generation the immediacy and intensity of this classic novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e240 pages\u003cbr\u003eLiveright, 2026\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1928\u003cbr\u003e5.2 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781324097792\u003cbr\u003eWar Fiction, Classic Literature\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55137514651816,"sku":"9781324097792","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/All_quiet_on_the_Western_front_Beals_Paperback9781324097792.jpg?v=1767901558","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/all-quiet-on-the-western-front-paperback-1","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
