GENERAL CABLES
REMARQUE’S BOOK
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
LONDON, April 26
Herr Erich Maria Remarque’s hook to which Sir lan Hamilton referred, has had a remarkable run, a quarter of a million copies ol it being sold in Germany in six weeks.
An admirable English translation by an Australian, Mr A. H. Wheen, has been widely read and reviewed in Britain.
Herr Remarque was an eighteen-year-old schoolboy, who volunteered with his entire class, and served for the duration of the war. He saw his schoolmates slain one by one. The hook is a stark, yet gripping autobiographical record of the agonies of the German private soldiers’ trench life. It is sometimes revolting in its coarse simplicity, carrying the stamp of truth in every line.
