Cover of β€œAll Quiet on the Western Front”

Cover of β€œAll Quiet on the Western Front”

I just finished β€œAll Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque.

There is the person I was before reading this book, and there is the person I am now, having read it.

This book, one of the first books to be publicly burned by the Nazis, is one that I won’t soon forget.
