Summary
Erich Maria Remarque: The Return
After four grueling years, the Great War is finally over. Now Ernst and several of his comrades from the regiment are wondering what will happen next with their lives. The cities they left four years ago as young people full of ideals and enthusiasm, now seem colder and more distant, their homes smaller, the reasons why their comrades died - unclear.
For Ernst and his friends, the path to peace is more treacherous than they could have ever imagined at a time when war was raging across Europe. Suffering from food shortages in post-war Germany and political unrest, as well as a broken heart, Ernst goes through a crisis that will teach him what it means to live - and what it is that he has that no one can take away from him.
