Description:

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

5Profound  Nov 13, 2009
I am not going to review this book traditionally since I believe it far too profound and important for me to comment on the writing and story. This book changed me as a person, and provided me with more knowledge and hope for mankind than I had prior ro reading this. What a brave man, and thank you Mr. Wiesel for sharing your experience and not forgetting.

2Night by Elie Wiesel  Nov 08, 2009
This audio version does not follow the book that I teach my classes. It said "unabridged" so I assumed that meant nothing was deleted. The story remains the same, so if there was not a book present, it wouldn't make a difference. But, students cannot simply follow along to this version.

5A very important book  Oct 18, 2009
This book shook me to the core. In fact, after reading it, my husband and I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland and learned so much more than what is in history books. This book is absolutely heartbreaking but a very important read.

4Great but lost interest  Oct 05, 2009
It is ok but I lost interest because I the Holocaust was just too close to home for me. I just felt too heavy and in despair at the time dealing family situations. I gave the book to a nearby thrift store for others to read.

3I Want More Info!  Sep 29, 2009
I recently finished reading Night for a school project. This was my second time reading it and I noticed so much more detail this time. While it was a good read, I was wanting more. I wish Elie would have included more about his life. Also, I would have loved to know more about his sisters and other family members. I did some research and found out that Elie was actually reunited with his sisters! You would have never known when reading Night, I thought they had perished in the Holocaust. I also would have liked to know about Elie's life after the Holocaust. What were the long term effects? What does he have to say to the world about his experience? What advice does he have to offer to the world?
