Though ambivalent about his job, he suspects there’s more to life than earning a living off other people’s misfortunes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA self-professed poet, Ludwig soon senses a growing change in his fatherland, a brutality brought upon it by inflation. When he falls in love with the beautiful but troubled Isabelle, Ludwig hopes he has found a soul who will offer him salvation—who will free him from his obsession to find meaning in a war-torn world. But there comes a time in every man’s life when he must choose to live—despite the prevailing thread of history horrifically repeating itself.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“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.
