Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in E.M. Remarque's Works about the "Great War"
Fábián István, Lecturer, PhD, UMFST "G.E. Palade" of Târgu Mureș
Abstract:
Considered one the most vivid writers about the horrors of first World War, E.M Remaque was also a good observer of the human nature in condition of extreme stress. His major books about the “Great War”, All quiet on the Western Front, The Road back and a series of eight short stories are not just about war itself but about human endurance, hope, failure….and about the description of a mental affliction considered “modern”: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Present in ancient, medieval or modern literary sources, PTSD haunted soldiers for millennia. In Remarque’s case, the author gives well documented descriptions of the PTSD, these cases being the subject of the present paper.
