Titel: Night Auteur: Elie Wiesel ISBN: 9780374500016 Conditie: AsNew Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were taken from their home in 1944 to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. This new translation by his wife and most frequent translator, Marion Wiesel, corrects important details and presents the most accurate rendering in English of Elie Wiesel's testimony to what happened in the camps and of his unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again. ''Wiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art.'' - Curt Leviant, Saturday Review ''As a human document, Night is almost unbearably painful, and certainly beyond criticism.'' - A. Alvarez, Commentary ELIE WIESEL is the author of more than forty internationally acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction. He has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States of America Congressional Gold Medal, the French Legion of Honor, and, in 1986, the Nobel Peace Prize. He is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities and University Professor at Boston University. A reading group guide for Night is available at www.fsgbooks.com.
