**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.
