Erich Maria Remarque – All Quiet on the Western Front – First US Edition 1929
£600.00
First US edition, first printing. Published by Little Brown in Boston, 1929. This is a very good (or better) copy. The dust wrapper is finely illustrated by Berlin born artist Paul Wenck. There is some separation to the top edge and at the spine tips. There are slight surface scratches present and creasing at the right-hand edge and rear panel. It has not been price clipped. The boards are fine with no notable wear; they look handsome in the publishers grey cloth and black lettering. The text blocks are clean and free from foxing. The internal pages are free from previous owners ink. This edition was published in the same year as the first German book edition, and the same year as the UK edition. Overall, this is a very good (or better) copy.
The German perspective of the First World War, describing the extreme physical and mental trauma during the war, and the detachment from civilian life felt by many upon returning home from the front. Maria Remarque himself a veteran, this is a semi-fictive account.
