Tysk
- Erich Maria Remarque, Im Westen Nichts Neues (1929) - Der Roman von Erich Maria Remarque erschien 1929. Das Buch gehört zu der Gruppe von Werken, in denen - rund zehn Jahre nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs - das Kriegserlebnis des Frontsoldaten geschildert und direkt oder indirekt Anklage erhoben wurde gegen den Krieg; es erschien im selben Jahre wie Ernest Hemingways "A Farewell to Arms" ("In einem anderen Land"), ein Jahr nach Ernst Glaesers (1902-1963) "Jahrgang 1902" und Ludwig Renns "Krieg", drei Jahre nach Hemingways "The Sun Also Rises" ("Fiesta"). Bei Remarque fällt wie auch bei Hemingway das Wort von der "verlorenen Generation", die nach dem Krieg nicht mehr in der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft Fuß fassen kann, weil sie im Alter von achtzehn bis zwanzig Jahren schon zu viel Grauen erlebt hat und dem Tod zu oft ins Auge sehen mußte, um vergessen zu können.
- Arnold Zweig, Der Streit um den Sergeanten Grischa (1927) - Front-line experience at Verdun was crucial for Zweig's anti-war attitude.

The novel is based on the real-life experiences of British army officers being treated for shell shock during World War I at Craiglockhart War Hospital in Scotland.
- Vera Brittain, Testament of Youth (1933) - Testament of Youth has been acclaimed as a classic for its description of the impact of World War I on the lives of women and the civilian population of Great Britain. The book shows how the impact extended into the postwar years. It is also considered a classic in feminist literature for its depiction of a woman's pioneer struggle to forge an independent career in a society only grudgingly tolerant of educated women.
- R.C.Sherriff, Journey's End (1928) - Set in the trenches at Saint-Quentin, France, in 1918, Journey's End gives a glimpse into the experiences of the officers of a British Army infantry company in World War I.
