Entre los miles de jóvenes llamados a combatir en la guerra está Otto, un estudiante de Dresde. Como en todos ellos, sus sueños están muy lejos del campo de batalla. Esta novela narra la vida del joven alemán, obligado por las circunstancias a abandonar su pueblo natal, a su familia y sus esperanzas de convertirse en especialista ferroviario. Atrás quedará aquella agitada y brillante etapa de una adolescencia que apenas comenzaba a experimentar: el amor, los bailes, los amigos, los estudios para enrolarse en el ejército. Con un estilo narrativo franco, el autor nos lleva a contemplar momentos críticos de la Primera Guerra Mundial, dibujando escenas cargadas de realismo y sensibilidad; vivencias de una confrontación que cambiarán la perspectiva que sobre el mundo tiene el protagonista. Es esta obra un canto antibelicista, una llamada a mirarnos como verdaderos seres humanos, sin etiquetas, clasificaciones o discriminaciones. Un relato de gran vigencia en estos tiempos en los que, a pesar de todo cuanto nos ha enseñado la historia, la guerra sigue siendo una amarga y cruenta realidad.
