About this product

Product Information

In Spark of Life, a powerful classic from the renowned author of All Quiet on the Western Front, one man's dream of freedom inspires a valiant resistance against the Nazi war machine. For ten years, 509 has been a political prisoner in a German concentration camp, persevering in the most hellish conditions. Deathly weak, he still has his wits about him and he senses that the end of the war is near. If he and the other living corpses in his barracks can hold on for liberation--or force their own--then their suffering will not have been in vain. Now the SS who run the camp are ratcheting up the terror. But their expectations are jaded and their defenses are down. It is possible that the courageous yet terribly weak prisoners have just enough left in them to resist. And if they die fighting, they will die on their own terms, cheating the Nazis out of their devil's contract. "The 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."-- The New York Times Book Review

  • "Lots of Life In Remarque novels."

    We have known Remarque's famous novel, All Quiet on the Western Front." It has been very rewarding to discover his other novels. He has an extremely smooth writing style and is very much a romantic.

  • Spark of Live

    I read this book in German, in Munich. I got it the afternoon after we got back from visiting Dachau, and was extremely caught up in the book since it opens in a concentration camp and about half of it happens in that concentration camp. You just cannot beat Remarque for subjects like this, and I got this copy as a present for my oldest son (who only reads English and Spanish). Remarque is know for All Quite on the Western Front, which is very good, but not his best. Spark of Life is one of the best World War II/concentration camp books written.
