Boško (boskodelic) | 48 comments Hello,

I've noticed that under the entry "A Time to Love and a Time to Die" by Erich Maria Remarque (A Time to Love and a Time to Die, ISBN 0151904707) are not only books of that novel, but also a novel "Flotsam" (Flotsam, ISBN 0449912477). These are not the same novels so they should not be categorized together.
"A Time to Love and a Time to Die" was published in 1954. and the original title is "Zeit zu leben und Zeit zu sterben".
"Flotsam" was published in 1939. and the original title is "Liebe deinen Nächsten".
As you can see, these are 2 different books under the same entry. The other editions followed that, so editions on different languages should also be separated onto 2 entries.

I've got his complete works in my library, there are 2 different books for these 2 titles and if you read the synopsis for both books, you can clearly see that the theme and action of both books are not the same.

Info can be checked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_M... and here: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/conten...

Please separate these 2 works onto separate entries.
I've already posted this in Help me, Superlibrarian! but it seems no one is interested in fixing it since it is a lot of work.

Working on it.

For some reason, probably because its cached, A Time to Love and a Time to Die is still showing 204 editions on the book page but its down to 129 editions on the edition page.

If you spot any I missed, please post with a link to the book :)
