What reading level is All Quiet On the Western Front book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
J. Meyer All Quiet on the Western Front is, by more than one measure, among the most important novels of the past century.
Its subject of course is epic: the so-called Great War, the seminal calamity of modern times, the incomprehensibly vast tragedy out of which subsequent, sometimes even bigger, horrors have continued to flow in wave after numbing wave, generation after generation.
And among the numberless works inspired by that subject, All Quiet has always stood virtually alone in terms of i...mpact. Other writers approached the Great War either obliquely, using it as Ford Madox Ford did in Parade’s End as a black background against which to explore what seemed almost the suicide of Europe, or in bitterly poetic terms, as with Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Erich Maria Remarque by contrast confronted it so directly, with such radical simplicity, that the result can seem almost artless by comparison. In the course of just a few months in 1927, drawing on his brief experience of combat as a teenage German conscript and the year-plus he spent in a military hospital recovering from shrapnel wounds, he set down in plain terms the story of a fictional everyman, young Private Paul Baumer.
