«Sin novedad en el frente» is the war novel by Erich Maria Remarque, published in 1986 by Plaza & Janés in paperback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, a young German soldier, narrates in the first person his life in the trenches of the First World War: fear, death, despair and the routine of a war that seems to make no sense. The novel describes the horror and disillusionment that accompany the soldier and how the front destroys the innocence of those who live it.
1986 edition, translated from German by Manuel Serrat. Belongs to the Gran Reno collection, number 75, from Plaza & Janés. Original title: Im Westen nichts Neues.
A reference work for readers interested in anti-war literature and the First World War.
Erich Maria Remarque was a German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), based on his experience in the Imperial German Army during World War I, was an international bestseller which created a new literary genre of veterans writing about conflict. The book was adapted to film several times. Remarque's anti-war themes led to his condemnation by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as "unpatriotic". He was able to use his literary success and fame to relocate to Switzerland as a refugee, and to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.
