**The new translation of the bestselling memoir Night in one volume
with its companion novels, Dawn and Day
**
Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. First
published in 1958, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent
boy and his father in Auschwitz. Elie Wiesel writes of their battle for
survival and of his battle with God for a way to understand the wanton
cruelty he witnesses each day.
In the short novel Dawn (1960), a young man who has survived World
War II and settled in Palestine joins a Jewish underground movement and
is commanded to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage.
In Day (previously titled The Accident, 1961), Wiesel questions
the limits of conscience: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life
despite their memories? Wiesel's trilogy offers insights on mankind's
attraction to violence and on the temptation of self-destruction.
