Description

A new translation from the French by Marion Wiesel. Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps.

This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man.

Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.

    I first read “Night” when I was in high school. I liked it, but I did not recall much from my first reading. Fast forward 10 years, I’m subbing in an English class and there’s a class set of “Night.” I picked it up and just started reading it again. This time the messages, themes, and characters became more vivid to me and I’m fully engrossed in this powerful novel.

  • Important Story and Great Work
