Dulce et Decorum est
3 étoiles
A powerful anti-war novel in which Remarque immerses the reader in the meat-grinder of WW1, and all the horrors of trench warfare, both hideous and banal.
We read how the war happens to the narrator, Paul. How he cannot escape its clutches, how he & his comrades become so very important to each other. How the impossible to understand, must be experienced to be understood.
Throughout, Remarque makes damned sure the reader comprehends the old lie: dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, and then the sickening realisation of what the title means.
