Description

“The Black Obelisk” (1956) – the most “philosophical” novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the concentration of the entire ideological content of the work of the famous German writer. Through the whole book runs the theme of “farewell to illusions”, often found in the texts of representatives of the “lost generation”.

Like most of Remarque’s works, “Black Obelisk” is largely autobiographical. In the center of attention – ordinary people who suffer from the collapse of habitual attitudes and rules in the postwar world. There are almost no unambiguously positive and negative characters – the reader himself evaluates and defines the characters.

“The Black Obelisk” – a novel about how to remain human in the unbearable conditions of inhuman society, fascist barbarism, gradually engulfed interwar Germany, which so sickened Remarque.
