Summary
The novel «The Road Back» by Erich Maria Remarque tells the story of German soldiers returning home after World War I. The main characters, Ernst Birkholz and his friends, face the challenges of adapting to civilian life. They feel alienated in a society that does not understand their experiences and suffering. The war has left deep scars on their souls, and they struggle to find their place in a changed world. Remarque illustrates how war destroys not only physically but also morally, and how difficult it is to return to normal life after the horrors endured.
