From the acclaimed author of All Quiet on the Western Front comes Three Comrades, a harrowing novel that follows a group of friends as they cope with upheaval in Germany between World Wars I and II. The year is 1928. On the outskirts of a large German city, three young men are earning a thin and precarious living. Fully armed young storm troopers swagger in the streets. Restlessness, poverty, and violence are everywhere. For these three, friendship is the only refuge from the chaos around them. Then the youngest of them falls in love, and brings into the group a young woman who will become a comrade as well, as they are all tested in ways they can have never imagined. Written with the same overwhelming simplicity and directness that made All Quiet on the Western Front a classic, Three Comrades portrays the greatness of the human spirit, manifested through characters who must find the inner resources to live in a world they did not make, but must endure. "The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure."-The New York Times Book Review

Che dire, è un capolavoro. È già la seconda volta che lo leggo/ascolto e le emozioni sono sempre forti. Erich Maria Remarque è un genio di una sensibilità enorme. La lettura anche molto bella, all'inizio ero un po' perplessa perché avevo ascoltato l'Arch de Triumph sempre di Remarque letta da Ralph Cosham, e rispetto a lui ovvio pochi reggono il paragone ma anche questa lettura è ottima. Lo consiglio vivamente
