Nightby Elie Wiesel
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Night — A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary Of Anne Frank, Night awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again. Review:"A slim volume of terrifying power." New York Times Review:"What I maintain is that this personal record, coming after so many others and describing an outrage about which we might imagine we already know all that it is possible to know, is nevertheless different, distinct, unique....Have we ever thought about the consequence of a horror that, though less apparent, less striking than the other outrages, is yet the worst of all to those of us who have faith: the death of God in the soul of a child who suddenly discovers absolute evil?" Francios Mauriac Review:"Wiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art." Curt Leviant, Saturday Review Review:"The book that always makes me weep is 'Night' by Elie Wiesel, because it brings up emotions of sorrow, horror and anger. And the book that unfailingly cheers me up is also 'Night' by Elie Wiesel, because it shows me that there is never an excuse for not trying to overcome evil, and that there is no situation from which we cannot emerge with a determination to be productive." Alan M. Dershowitz, Washington Post Book World Review:"To the best of my knowledge no one has left behind him so moving a record." Alfred Kazin
Review:"As a human document, 'Night' is almost unbearably painful, and certainly beyond criticism." A. Alvarez, Commentary Review:"The seminal story of a child the Germans intended to murder, more to the point than the partial narrative of 'The Diary of Anne Frank' since it describes the place of Anne Frank's doom." Cynthia Ozick, New York Times Book Review What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
