All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues) is a landmark novel by Erich Maria Remarque, first published in 1928 in German and translated into English in 1929. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest anti-war novels, offering a harrowing portrayal of World War I from the perspective of a young German soldier.

Remarque himself was a German soldier during World War I, and his experiences heavily influenced the novel. Upon its release, All Quiet on the Western Front became an instant success worldwide but was met with hostility in Nazi Germany, where it was banned and publicly burned for being anti-military.

The book's unflinching look at the horrors of war had a profound impact on its readers, contributing to its status as a classic of 20th-century literature. Its universal message about the human cost of war continues to resonate with readers today.

The novel has been adapted into multiple films, the most famous being the 1930 American film directed by Lewis Milestone, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. More recently, a German-language adaptation was released in 2022, bringing renewed attention to Remarque's work.
