My Favourite Book Essay ππ
Nowadays a lot of people think that the more people have tv or internet in their homes,the fewer people will buy books.It‘s often thought why to read long novels, when a play on TV can tell you the same story with colours , pictures and actions. But I’m certain, that books are still popular,because it’s a cheaper way,than to go to the cinema and also you can keep a book forever and read it many time.
My favourite book is written by Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970),German-American novellst. Born in Osnabruck, Germany,and educated at the University of Munster. He served in the army during world War I.During the war be wrote his first novel ”All Quite on the western front”,It became an internalional bestseller.I’ve read a lot of novels by Remarque,but most of all I like “A time to live and a time to die”published in 1954.
This novel is about Soldier Ernst Greabet, who is doing military service at the Russian front.One day he gets a short holiday homeward. Once arrived in his native town he learns about the despairs and disappointment the war has spred over the country. The town is bombed town,parents,friends and relatives are vanished. On the desperate search for his missing parents he meets a former companion of his youth Elisabeth.
They marry, but unfortunately Ernst must leave his native town and departure back to the front.just arriving in Russia Ernst is involved into the midst of a conflict. When he gest a lift and has an opportunity to leave the war, he refuses….., because the his troops are losing.. At this point Ernst perish.
Thank You .....π
