So instead of it some impressions. He needs neither your support nor pity and tries to not become accustomed to anything, neither place nor people, things or love, not even to a body , after all you never know when you again will have to run away.

But that's an illusion. She is all primary strength and instinct. She gave herself to whatever she did …Such women were nothing but drinking, when they drank ; nothing but love when they loved; nothing but desperation when they were desperate; and nothing but forgetfulness when they forgot.

Sometimes love catches us off guard and unsolicited falls in our arms. And sometimes it doesn't work. View all 32 comments.

Arch of Triumph may not be equal to that but it is very good, a beautifully written novel that stands on it's own merit and one that I enjoyed reading from start to finish. The setting is Paris, nervous about the unrest in Europe prior to the start of World War II, and filled with expatriates and refugees of many nationalities.

Ravic is an accomplished German surgeon, and having fled Nazi Germany, he is living in Paris without passport or documantation.

He finds work by performing surgery for two, less than average, French doctors. Really his main goal is to avoid capture and deportation, and survive the coming maelstrom of war.

Amid all this turmoil, just when he should least expect it, he falls in love with Joan, an actress. The characters are few in this novel, really Ravic and Joan drive most of the stories plot, so Remarque has time to fully develop these very interesting characters and this intriguing story line. The reader can feel the tension of the city and fear of it's people in the words of Remarque, and you are left with a feeling of hopelessness for everyone.

Remarkable book, I loved it. Review revised November View 1 comment. Apr 23, Lyn rated it liked it. An exiled German doctor living in Paris in This had all the indicia of a great novel and it was very good, I enjoyed reading it. The first half sets up the plot of a German, Ravic, though that is not his real name — he is literally a man without a country; Germany has exiled him and France will not recognize his medical license because of his political status.

His descriptions of s Paris is noteworthy. Fans of his masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front will want to read this to realize his considerable ability. View 2 comments. Jul 06, Chrissie rated it really liked it Shelves: france , read , love , classics , audible , hf.

My thoughts a bit into the book: THIS is fantastic! What lines! Did you know that Remarque died in ? Here the year is Interesting and exciting and marvelously written. And you want to know why the main character is as he is. You simply MUST understand. Slowly it unfolds. Good stuff. Me, I am enjoying myself as I read this. And on completion? Everything that I loved when I began the book remained valid through to the very end.

Ravic and Joan are the two main characters. Ravic is a stateless refugee and an accomplished German surgeon. He is not Jewish; he is not a supporter of the Nazi regime. He is living in Paris without papers and thus forbidden to preform surgeries.

His surgical skills are excellent; he has to make a living so he performs surgeries for "acclaimed" French doctors who are inept. They get the acclaim of his prowess, but he survives. He is about He is stateless because he is wanted by the Nazis for hiding two people - a Jewish writer and a man who saved his life fighting in WW1. He has been mercilessly tortured and sent to concentration camp, from which he escaped.

All of this explains why at the beginning of the story he is stateless, without papers and living in France, Paris to be exact. The year is and the story continues through to Ravic has one aim beyond simply surviving, to get revenge on that Nazi who has tortured him and those he loved.

Is it just revenge or is it his duty to shoulder punishment of crimes committed? Doesn't each and every one of us have to share the burden of retribution? This theme turns the book into a crime novel and the tension mounts as you reach the end.

Another central theme is how war forever alters those who living through them. Ravic took part in the Spanish Civil War too. The book is NOT about war experiences per se but rather about their personal consequences, and the larger perspective of the many who lived through the 20th Century. Through Ravic you see the consequences of history on an individual. I came to understand Ravic. There is another central character - Joan, who he falls in love with. Joan is another completely different story and I felt the book did not explain as well why she was who she was.

This is why my appreciation of the book was less than magnificent. Really gorgeous writing. Remarque draws Paris superbly, Paris and how it looks and smells and the tension of those times. You follow the events of history through the life of Ravic, his one year hidden in France.

The narration by Ralph Cosham is totally fantastic. It was never too exaggerated to increase tension, but boy does it mount. The excellence of the narration was a total surprise for me since when I listened to the sample I thought it would be way too old-fashioned. No, it was just perfect. And the voices of the women were perfect too. Smooth, calm, pitch-perfect! I loved the narration, and I highly recommend listening to this book rather than reading a paper copy.

And the ending? It fit; it ended as it had to end given Ravic's character and what he had lived through. View all 9 comments. This one is filled to the brim with melancholy. This story follows refugees in Paris in and especially Ravic, German refugee doctor.

The war is coming and French are in denial. It is in the cellar. Not in the cellar. The Frenchmen at the next table were still talking about their government.

About England. About Italy. About Chamberlain. Words, words. The only ones who did something were the others. They were not stronger, only more determined. Postponement—but what did they do with it? Did they arm themselves, did they make up for lost time, did they pull themselves together?

They watched the others going ahead arming themselves—and waited, passively hoping for a new postponement. The story of the herd of seals. Hundreds of them on a beach; among them the hunter killing one after the other with a club. Together they could easily have crushed him—but they lay there, watching him come to murder, and did not move; he was only killing a neighbor—one neighbor after the other. The story of the European seals.

The sunset of civilization. The empty banners of human rights. The sell-out of a continent. The onrushing deluge. The haggling for the last prices.

The old dance of despair on the volcano. Peoples again slowly being driven into a slaughterhouse. The fleas would save themselves when the sheep were being sacrificed.

As always.
