Erich Maria Remarque: Shadows in Paradise

“Shadows in Paradise” is a profound psychological portrait of an entire generation forced to flee their own homes for a foreign land, which granted them a peaceful sky overhead and freedom. The emigrants found salvation in this paradise from fascist oppression, but they did not find salvation for their wounded souls.
They entered the American paradise like shadows. People scorched by the fire of the Second World War. Fugitives from all corners of Europe who had lost their past. A neurotic model and a cynical, heavy-drinking writer. A flighty actress and a brilliant surgeon. A desperate Resistance hero and an optimistic businessman. What could such different people possibly have in common? The fragility of an absurd émigré existence. And the holy hope of returning home someday...
The novel is published in a new, complete translation by M. Rudnitsky.
