THREE COMRADES
The year is 1928. On the outskirts of a large German city, three young
men are earning a thin and precarious living. Fully armed young storm
troopers swagger in the streets. Restlessness, poverty, and violence are
everywhere. For these three, friendship is the only refuge from the
chaos around them. Then the youngest of them falls in love, and brings
into the group a young woman who will become a comrade as well, as they
are all tested in ways they can never have imagined. . . .
Written with the same overwhelming simplicity and directness that made
All Quiet on the Western Front a classic, Three Comrades portrays the
greatness of the human spirit, manifested through characters who must
find the inner resources to live in a world they did not make, but must
endure.
