About the book: 2024 / Published in 1930, "Front Report" became one of the iconic novels about the First World War, along with the works of E.M. Remarque "All Quiet on the Western Front", R. Aldington's "Death of a Hero" and E. Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms!" , where original documents - quotes from the proclamations of Emperor Wilhelm II, decrees of censorship authorities, newspaper reports - are organically woven into the plot, and the prototype of the main character Adolf Reisiger is the author himself. “Front Report” became one of tens of thousands of books publicly burned in Germany in 1933, and was not published in Germany until 1976, and in the GDR until 1981. At the beginning of the century, the novel again attracted attention, was republished many times and translated into several languages..
