The Last Stop. From Noon to Midnight

Not all admirers of Remarque know that besides the major prose which brought him worldwide fame, he also masterfully wrote short works. It was these pieces that marked Remarque's journey into great literature, and in them one can already trace... the ideas and brilliant style of the future outstanding writer. This collection includes early lyrical stories that convey an atypical naivety for the author, as well as essays on love, melancholy, and the impossibility of true understanding between people. The publication also includes The Last Stop — Remarque's only play, as well as the script for The Last Act — a fierce rebuttal to the Nazi regime. Remarque does not spare the ordinary Germans who claimed ignorance of what was really happening in their country or justified their actions by following orders. His verdict is simple and merciless: all are guilty — both those who acted and those who remained silent.
