5.0 out of 5 stars An old favorite of mine., 20 Sep 2004
By Palle E T Jorgensen "Palle Jorgensen" (Iowa City, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
An old favorite of mine.
A friend asked me to recommend a Remarque novel. We discussed 'All Quiet...'. My reply follows: 'Sure, in fact one of my favorites of Remarque's books is a thinly veiled portrait of Marlene Dietrich; or rather the intertwining of her life with his in Paris at the eve the period up to war in Europe, the year before the WW2 broke out.---

The English title is 'Arch of Triumph'. Like with all Remarque's books, the title is full of irony, and undercurrents of double meanings. Naturally, the book is not officially about Marlene, but she is hard to miss. Rather the book is personal,and has a good amount of autobiographical flavor. Yet, it is a captivating and suspenseful novel.

Like the two protagonists in the novel, Remarque and Dietrich were themselves at a desparate point in their lives in 1939.

Side comment: I am afraid that a lot is lost in the translation of Remarque's books. He only wrote in German, even when he lived in the US.

In any case, Remarque is a master of a suspenseful openings, in his novels. This one does not disapoint! Lots of his books are about refugee life of sorts. Another of Remarque's novels I often return to is 'Night in Lisbon', and it is again about escape from a Europe at high noon, just as Europe is going up in flames before WW2.'

5.0 out of 5 stars When all you have is love..., 14 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Arch of Triumph: A Novel of a Man without a Country (Paperback)
One of the best books I've ever read and a true Remarque. Showing how love can suddenly bring a person back to life, provide a function for living. Telling about finding a way to rid oneself of the burden of past, without having to forget it. Bigtime recommendtion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers the question: What do we live our lives for?, 13 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Arch of Triumph: A Novel of a Man without a Country (Paperback)
The struggles of a brilliant surgeon who is also an illegal refugee in pre-WWII Paris are the subject of this fine work of fiction. As Dr.Ravic scrapes together some meaning and purpose for his shadow existence, the reader begins to understand why his determined faith in the human spirit gives him the will to persist as European civilization seems about to collapse around him. A story of great love, impossible revenge, and greater justice, this book may be a guide to those whose personal struggles against forces in today's destructive culture seem overwhelming.
