Item description from seller

A wonderful copy of the first U.K. edition, first impression, of Erich Maria Remarque's lauded First World War novel. Published in the same year as the German language first edition, this is the first impression of A. W. Wheen's English language translation, and the first U.K. edition of the work.Enclosed in a fine facsimile of the first issue dust wrapper.Remarque's novel is a powerful depiction of the devastating effects of war on individuals and society. The novel's legacy can be seen in its influence on subsequent works of war literature, its impact on public attitudes towards war, and its role in shaping the discourse around the nature of warfare and its human cost.It is a fictional account of the experiences of extreme mental and physical trauma experienced by a young German soldier named Paul Baumer and his comrades during World War I. The novel is considered a masterpiece of war literature and is often cited as one of the greatest anti-war novels of all time. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely. Light mark to rear board, with a touch of discolouration to back strip. With a fine facsimile dust wrapper. Internally, generally firmly bound, with binding a touch strained towards rear. Pages bright and generally clean, with light spotting to page perimeters. Very Good Indeed.
