Arc de Triomphe was Remarques tweede wereldsucces na Van het westelijk front geen nieuws. De roman behoort tot zijn drie grote, in ballingschap in de Verenigde Staten geschreven exile-novels (De nacht in Lissabon, Arc de Triomphe, De zwarte obelisk). Deze drie romans worden door velen als het hoogtepunt van Remarques oeuvre beschouwd. Arc de Triomphe vertelt het verhaal van de vrouwenarts Ravic die in 1941 uit de Gestapo-gevangenis is ontsnapt en in Parijs in dubieuze hotels en nachtclubs is ondergedoken. Een gewetenloze Franse arts laat de moeilijkere operaties van rijke vrouwen en arme hoeren graag aan Ravic over. Op een dag ontmoet Ravic een Italiaanse zangeres die net Mussolini’s Italië is ontvlucht. Hij dacht dat hij na de dood van zijn vrouw nooit meer echte gevoelens kon opbrengen voor een ander, maar zoekt (tot zijn eigen verbazing) meer en meer het gezelschap van de zangeres. Maar deze relatie wordt bruut verstoord als Ravic zijn Gestapo-verhoorder ontmoet, diegene die bovendien verantwoordelijk is voor de dood van Ravic’ vrouw. Hij twijfelt: wraak nemen of wederom proberen te vluchten? Welke toekomst ligt er voor hem in het verschiet? Is er überhaupt een toekomst? Niemand heeft de emoties en de gevolgen van een ballingschap zonder uitweg of toekomstperspectief zo indrukwekkend beschreven als Remarque; en er zijn weinigen die dat zo concreet, meeslepend en empathisch hebben gedaan als hij.

Extraordinary Chronicle of an Avenging Warrior
I purchased this book, although I had read this several years ago. My interest to revisit the novel was aroused when I read The Good Lord Bird and viewed the series. There are strong parallels in the struggles and the motivations explored in these works. Styron is a talented writer who makes this history come alive and gather relevance. The brutal consequences of an impossible circumstance lives on through this century as the legacy of slavery is explored in splendid literary works such as this powerful novel. I highly recommend it.

Make Sure You Read the Vintage Edition with the Afterword
I initially purchased this book to read for two reasons: First, it was written by William Styron, who wrote the great "Sophie's Choice;" and second, it won a Pulitzer Prize. It was only after I was into the book that I learned that this vintage sixties' book was the subject of a major controversy over the depiction of the title character, Nat Turner. I learned that Styron openly acknowledged fictionalizing large portions of Turner's life, including his motivations for leading the slave revolt. I also learned that Styron's largely fictionalized portrait of Turner outraged many black leaders of the time. Rather than painting Turner (entirely) as a hero, called to action by the injustices of slavery, Styron created a darker picture of a man fixated on religion, a vision of himself as a prophet, and frustrated by lust and desire (particularly, for a young, blond haired white girl). As I read the book, I search my own feelings, and felt that if I were black, I would certainly have objected similarly. We all need our heroes, who become much larger as symbols than they could ever be as people. For the sake of those that come after, such icons are perhaps entitled to be treated with a greater level of sensitivity and care--even at the cost of literary restraint. It is here that the story gets fascinating. After I finished the novel, I read Styron's Afterword. Styron was truly stung by the criticism and in the Afterword, provided an elegant and persuasive defense of his writings. While I will not say that Styron entirely changed my position, he definitely made me see the other side of the argument. The dialogue between Styron and his critics not only allows the reader to consider one of the great social and political issues of our time, but permits the reader a unique insight into the thinking of a great writer--and suffices, in and of itself, as a reason for reading this novel. MAKE SURE YOUR VERSION OF THE NOVEL HAS THIS AFTERWORD. Putting the issue aside as to the real "Nat Turner," the novel itself is beautifully written. The characters are fully developed and believable. The description of the system of slavery and the relationship between whites and blacks feel very real, and very accurate. Styron shows us good and bad of each race, and how all of them are bound by the system of slavery and their actions directly the product of it.

I loved this book.
I read this book for my book club and I thought it was beautifully written. It has stayed with me for weeks now. I love when a book does that. I'm glad I wasn't swayed by controversy. I had no problem with the fact that the author was white and using a black voice(maybe because I'm white - but I do like when an author gets the voice right and I thought Styron did that). I didn't understand the charges of racism after reading the book. Sometimes I wonder if, what some people find uncomfortable, they label as racist or sexist or whatever. Anyway, I would encourage everyone to read this book because it gave me a fresh awareness of a huge part of U.S. history, it reminded me that there are always gray areas to consider and it was a great novel. You might think so too.

Nat Turner was NOT happy
I think Mr Styron may have took some liberties with Nat Turner's "orientation" without the research or data to support his opinion.
