Publisher Description

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

The Arch of Triumph.

I really do not know what to say about this book, except that I could not stop reading it. Sometimes it seemed to be about nothing, but I wanted to know what happened. I need to think some more about what I just read.

Extraordinarily novel about the pre- II World War in Paris

Vividly described the life of a German refugee in Paris before the II World War started. A prominent doctor refused to joint the nazis is sent to a concentration camp. He manage to scape and move to Paris without passport or identity card.

Poetic descriptions of Paris and a passionate relationship that turn his bitter life around.

Great translation and prose. I highly recommend
