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.
