Arch of Triumph: A Novel

Arch of Triumph: A Novel

The evocative story of a man without a country, Arch of Triumph is a World War IIâ€“era classic from the author of All Quiet on the Western Front.
Â
It is 1939. Despite a law banning him from performing surgery, Ravicâ€”a German doctor and refugee living in Parisâ€”has been treating some of the cityâ€™s most elite citizens for two years on the behalf of two less-than-skillful French physicians.
Â
Forbidden to return to his own country, and dodging the everyday dangers of jail and deportation, Ravic manages to hang onâ€”all the while searching for the Nazi who tortured him back in Germany. And though heâ€™s given up on the possibility of love, life has a curious way of taking a turn for the romantic, even during the worst of times.
Â
â€œThe world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review
