Eight Stories: Tales of War and Loss by Erich Maria Remarque
4.0
*I received this book as free copy from NetGalley*
I requested this book because in 2016 I read (and loved) Remarque's mos well known novel All Quiet on the Western Front. This is a collection of short stories dealing with war and its consequences. The collection has a very interesting and lengthy introduction that contextualizes the stories very well. The stories have the same simple but effective style that his novel and I enjoyed it a lot.
If you liked Remarque's other works this will be up your street and if you haven't I think this collection will be a very good introduction to his themes and his style.
