This is the story of a simple boy talking about topicality.
At the time the novel was released, it made a splash with its scandalousness.
Erich Maria Remarque "Life on loan"
Some works are required reading because of their life-affirming overtones. This novel by Remarque tells the story of the relationship between a race car driver and a girl with tuberculosis. There is risk, love, and thrill here.
Many of Remarque's novels are full of cliches, but despite this, reading always evokes the desire to live.

Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy "War and Peace"
