The Black Obelisk - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.): Erich Maria Remarque The Black Obelisk - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.)
Erich Maria Remarque; Translated by Denver Lindley
R472 R420 Discovery Miles 4 200 Save R52 (11%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

From the author of the masterpiece "All Quiet on the Western Front, The Black Obelisk" is a classic novel of the troubling aftermath of World War I in Germany.
A hardened young veteran from the First World War, Ludwig now works for a monument company, selling stone markers to the survivors of deceased loved ones. Though ambivalent about his job, he suspects there's more to life than earning a living off other people's misfortunes.
A self-professed poet, Ludwig soon senses a growing change in his fatherland, a brutality brought upon it by inflation. When he falls in love with the beautiful but troubled Isabelle, Ludwig hopes he has found a soul who will offer him salvation--who will free him from his obsession to find meaning in a war-torn world. But there comes a time in every man's life when he must choose to live--despite the prevailing thread of history horrifically repeating itself.
"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"

Flotsam - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.): Erich Maria Remarque Flotsam - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.)
Erich Maria Remarque; Translated by Denver Lindley

'Flotsam' is a terrifying portrait of Europe as the Nazi shadow falls over the continent. Political dissidents, Jews, medical students, petty criminals: Among the thousands of displaced persons travelling the unpaved roads of Europe, there are Steiner and Kern. Both have irritated officials for outstaying their two-week sojourn in Czechoslovakia. And so they must leave. Not that either has any place to go. Not in 1939. But when a man is led by a guard to the border of one country, he must try another. Until he is escorted from that one too. Living hand-to-mouth, selling shoelaces and safety pins for a few pennies, Steiner and Kern find that, remarkably, there are still pleasures to be had. Paris, for one; love, for another.

A Time to Love and a Time to Die - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.): Erich Maria Remarque A Time to Love and a Time to Die - A Novel (Paperback, Ballantine Books Ed.)
Erich Maria Remarque; Translated by Denver Lindley

From the quintessential author of wartime Germany, "A Time to Love and a Time to Die "echoes the harrowing insights of his masterpiece "All Quiet on the Western Front." After two years at the Russian front, Ernst Graeber finally receives three weeks' leave. But since leaves have been canceled before, he decides not to write his parents, fearing he would just raise their hopes. Then, when Graeber arrives home, he finds his house bombed to ruin and his parents nowhere in sight. Nobody knows if they are dead or alive. As his leave draws to a close, Graeber reaches out to Elisabeth, a childhood friend. Like him, she is imprisoned in a world she did not create. But in a time of war, love seems a world away. And sometimes, temporary comfort can lead to something unexpected and redeeming. "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"
