audio book all quiet on the western front

Paul (I won’t give his last name because yes, German, but no-he’s first and foremost Human) is 19-years old when he and his school chums enlist to fight in WWI. It’s at times lyrical, at times bawdily hilarious, at times, well. And food? Whazza?!? Certainly none of it was anywhere near as important as hearing this inCREDibly stunning work, what with its pure and raw poetry of phrase by Erich Maria Remarque, what with the sheer and quiet intensity of narration by Frank Muller. It was a Listen At One Sitting experience. But it wasn’t until now, in my 50s with life experience and war fiction, histories, and memoirs galore, behind myself that I dusted off the audiobook (Which has been sitting ever so patiently in my Library) and pressed Play for this Veterans Day of 2019. I remember reading All Quiet on the Western Front when I was a teenager, and I found it to be quite moving then. As in the title, I was walking whilst listening to this, and despite that, passing walkers would have seen many expressions on my face laughter, frustration, disgust, and tears.By: Erich Maria Remarque / Narrated By: Frank MullerĮxquisitely written with heartfelt narration. Although I will say that there are harsh, graphic and upsetting scenes in this story. I highly recommend this book/audio book to anyone with an interest in WW1. And how brotherhood meant more to them than anything else in the world.

We get an incredible look into how that generation felt their lives, their youth, was stolen from them. We hear stories of battle, love, loss, home, and war. Through his eyes, we get an incredibly personal and detailed view into life on the frontline in 1914 and beyond. We follow his story from school to the horrific frontline trenches of Flanders. It follows the personal stories of Paul Bäumer, a German Soldier.

What amazed me about this story is the brutal honesty, insight, and detail in which this story is told. I have been listening to podcasts about WW1 and this audiobook looked good from the reviews. I bought this audiobook as a way for me to be more involved with this charity walk and to lean. There is a link below where you can find out more. It is a 100k charity walk from the Lochnagar crater in France to the Menin Gate in Belgium. As I write this, in just over 2 weeks, I will be walking along The Western Front of WW1. I listened to this audiobook whist training for The ABF Soldiers Charity Frontline Walk. Written by Erich Maria Remarque and wonderfully narrated by Tom Lawrence. Today, while training for The Frontline Walk 2022, I finished the audiobook, All quiet on The Western Front.
