Erich Maria Remarque (E. Paul Remark) is fondly remembered as the 'Recording angel of the Great War'. The world-renowned German novelist and filmmaker had great taste in impressionist art. He admired Lancia convertibles, Chinese artwork from Tang dynasty, and stylish women. He was obsessive about privacy, free speech and pacifism. He's best known for his novel 'All Quiet on the Western Front' (1928) that narrates the story of German soldiers during World War I. The criticism didn't sit well with the Nazis who destroyed most of his work.
