“To the biographer and student of literature, Erich Maria Remarque, who has been called the "recording angel of the Great War," was an enigma, a man rife with contradictions and contrasts.”
Erich Maria Remarque (born Erich Paul Remark; 22 June 1898 – 25 September 1970) was a German novelist. His landmark novel *Im Westen nichts Neues* (*All Quiet on the Western Front*) (1928), about the German military experience of World War I, was an international best-seller which created a new literary genre, and was adapted into a film in 1930. **Source**: [Erich Maria Remarque](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Maria_Remarque) on Wikipedia.
