Arch of Triumph

by Erich Maria Remarque

Overview

ARCH OF TRIUMPH

It is 1939. Despite a law banning him from performing surgery, Ravic—a German doctor and refugee living in Paris—has been treating some of the city's most elite citizens for two years on the behalf of two less-than-skillful French physicians.

Forbidden to return to his own country, and dodging the everyday dangers of jail and deportation, Ravic manages to hang on—all the while searching for the Nazi who tortured him back in Germany. And though he'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. . . .

Editorial Reviews

It’s amazing to hear a novel read in the tone of the era about which it was written--shadowy and haltingly, as if an enemy might be listening. Ralph Cosham illuminates Remarque’s masterpiece about a German surgeon who is prevented from legally practicing medicine in Paris in 1939. Cosham paints the highlights of hopeless day-to-day living. He projects the sounds and the threats of the imminent war with his sophisticated reading. An excellent production. J.P. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
