Présentation de l'éditeur
The evocative story of a man without a country, Arch of Triumph is a World War II–era classic from the author of All Quiet on the Western Front.
It is 1939. Despite a law banning him from performing surgery, Ravic—a German doctor and refugee living in Paris—has been treating some of the city’s most elite citizens for two years on the behalf of two less-than-skillful French physicians.
Forbidden to return to his own country, and dodging the everyday dangers of jail and deportation, Ravic manages to hang on—all the while searching for the Nazi who tortured him back in Germany. And though he’s given up on the possibility of love, life has a curious way of taking a turn for the romantic, even during the worst of times.
“The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure.”—The New York Times Book Review
Biographie de l'auteur
Erich Maria Remarque, who was born in Germany, was drafted into the German army during World War I. Through the hazardous years following the war he worked at many occupations: schoolteacher, small-town drama critic, race-car driver, editor of a sports magazine. His first novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, was published in Germany in 1928. A brilliant success, selling more than a million copies, it was the first of many literary triumphs. When the Nazis came to power, Remarque left Germany for Switzerland. He rejected all attempts to persuade him to return, and as a result he lost his German citizenship, his books were burned, and his films banned. He went to the United States in 1938 and became a citizen in 1947. He later lived in Switzerland with his second wife, the actress Paulette Goddard. He died in September 1970.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. New edition. Translated from the German by Walter Sorell and Denver Lindley. First published in English in 1946, this new edition comes in the strange and short-lived (they seem to have been published only between 1971 and 1974) Hutchinson Library Services series. Most copies from this series appear never to have been near a library, and the price on the jacket indicates that retail sales of the book was expected. (This copy actually has the little Foyles sticker under the front flap, showing that it was sold through London's most famous bookshop.) There is a small 2cm worn area on front endpaper from removal of a little label, and very slight softening at the base of the spine, but this is a near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with a little edgewear and a couple of closed nicks. Seems to be pretty scarce in this edition. N° de réf. du vendeur 000339
