About this listen

A full-cast dramatisation of one of the greatest war novels of all time.

First published as a novel in 1929, All Quiet on the Western Front tells the story of a group of young German soldiers who are enduring, and then coming to terms with, the realities of the First World War.

At the age of 19, following the outbreak of the First World War, Paul Bäumer enlists in the German Army. He is deployed to the Western Front, where the experience of life and death in the trenches has an enormous effect on him. He begins to feel disconnected from his past life: his family, his love of poetry, and his feelings. As the war progresses, Paul becomes increasingly lost in battle.

Haunting yet comic, lyrical yet desperate, the novel became a best seller on its original publication. It inspired an Oscar-winning film of the same name, and has been adapted for television and stage. This powerful radio dramatisation stars Robert Lonsdale as Paul Bäumer, with a supporting cast including Simon Trinder, Stephen Critchlow, Carolyn Pickles, and Malcolm Tierney.

Reminder if we ever needed it of the horrors of war and there was no war as bad as WW1

CLASSIC on the Horrors of War

a great performance. good sound effects and intriguing insights into the every day effects of war on the soldiers on the ground.

Found this a good record of war & felt a bit upset afterwards which is what any rational minded person will feel. A good writer & well balanced account. No one should feel good after listening to someones feelings & diary entries about their war experience, but 10/10 for capturing the mood of what war is about, horror and physical and mental pain.

Upsetting War But Necessary Account of WW1
