Road Back by Erich Maria Remarque
After surviving several horrifying years in the inferno of the Western Front, a young German soldier and his cohorts return home at the end of W1. Their road back to life in civilian world is made arduous by their bitterness about what they find in post-war society. A captivating story, one of Remarque's best.During World War I, Erich Maria Remarque, a German native, was drafted into the German army. He worked as a schoolteacher, a small-town theatrical critic, a race-car driver, and the editor of a sports magazine during the perilous years following the war. All Quiet on the Western Front, his first novel, was published in Germany in 1928. It was a phenomenal success, selling over a million copies and marking the start of a long line of literary victories. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, Remarque fled to Switzerland.
He flatly refused all attempts to persuade him to return, and as a result, he was stripped of his German citizenship, his books were destroyed, and his films were outlawed. In 1938, he immigrated to the United States and became a citizen in 1947. Later, he and his second wife, actress Paulette Goddard, lived in Switzerland. In September 1970, he passed away.
