«The Road Back» is the war novel by Erich Maria Remarque, published by Random House Trade Paperbacks in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front. After the First World War, Ernst and the few survivors of his company return to a town they no longer recognise: smaller homes, incomprehensible reasons for sacrifice, and a peace more treacherous than war. Amid scarcity, political unrest and disillusionment, he tries to find a reason to live.
This English edition, translated from German by A. W. Wheen, is a 1998 reprint published by Random House Trade Paperbacks.
For readers of historical fiction and the First World War, especially those who have read All Quiet on the Western Front.
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.
