Arch of Triumph

Paris, 1939. On the brink of World War II.

Ludwig has already endured the horrors of the Gestapo, a concentration camp, and the loss of the woman he loved. Fleeing Nazi persecution, he escapes to France under a new identity — now known as Ravic, a brilliant but undocumented surgeon living in the shadows of Paris.

Haunted by trauma and trapped in the harsh life of an exile, Ravic drifts through the streets and hospitals of the city. Then he meets Joan Madou, a lost Italian actress whose sorrow echoes his own. Their encounter sparks a fragile love in the cold and turbulent world of impending war.

In Arch of Triumph, Remarque masterfully explores the fragility of happiness, the burden of exile, and the power of love and loss during one of history's darkest moments.
