The analysis of the most famous anti-war novel of all times, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, a representative of a lost generation, becomes a pretext to compare the German author with Joseph Rotblat, a physicist born in Warsaw. They both found their own way to deal with the consequences of war. The first one, as a veteran of World War I and the author of the anti-war novels was nominated in 1931 for the Nobel Peace Prize, the second one was its laureate in 1995. While All Quiet on the Western Front is the novel most strongly related to the World War I, Rotblat, associated in Western Europe with calling for world peace and nuclear disarmament, is in Poland almost unknown and there is no information about him in the official teaching programs. This article is devoted to Remarque and Rotblat separate paths in practicing „militant pacifism”.

Omówienie najsłynniejszej powieści antywojennej wszechczasów, Na Zachodzie bez zmian Ericha Marii Remarque’a, przedstawiciela lost generation, staje się pretekstem, by zestawić niemieckiego pisarza z urodzonym w Warszawie fizykiem, Józefem Rotblatem. Obaj znaleźli własną drogę, by walczyć z powikłaniami wojennymi. Pierwszego z nich, jako weterana wojny światowej z lat 1914-1918 i autora antywojennej powieści, nominowano w roku 1931 do Pokojowej Nagrody Nobla, drugi w 1995 został jej laureatem. O ile jednak Na Zachodzie bez zmian to powieść najsilniej powiązana asocjacyjnie z I wojną światową, o tyle Rotblat, kojarzony na zachodzie Europy z wieloletnimi działaniami nawołującymi do światowego pokoju i rozbrojenia nuklearnego, w Polsce jest niemal nieznany, a w szkolnych programach nauczania nie znaleziono dla niego miejsca. Artykuł poświęcony jest ich odrębnym drogom uprawiania „wojującego pacyfizmu”.

This article presents a research project on the history of mentalities in Czech culture of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The project analyses textbooks for the teaching of Czech literature for secondary schools. It focuses in particular on the excerpts from the literary works and analyses their potential for the learners to acquire cultural and historical knowledge as well as personal skills. These excerpts are conceptualized here as Denkbilder, a term that has been used repeatedly in German literature studies recently to define short prose texts that stimulate imagination as well as reflection. Responding to the high number of literary works from world literature in the Czech textbooks analysed for the project, this article addresses the contrasting presentations of one classic of German literature, Erich Maria Remarque’s 1929 novel All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues). It illustrates how a single literary work can be presented in different ways in literature textbooks, offering the learners different approaches for relating to the text and activating their cognitive and imaginative resources.
