This year marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of Erich Maria Remarque. This writer occupies a special place in the world literature of the twentieth century as the author of anti-war novels about the life of the lost generation. Remarque was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, while his books were burned in Nazi Germany. But the hotter the fires from Remarque's books burned in Germany, the more intensively the printing presses of the Soviet Union and the United States worked, bringing Remarque, who first settled in Switzerland and then in America, popularity and solid fees. Anna Hanen will tell about some facts from the life of the "humanist and pacifist number one".
