Product Description
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 Weisel, Elie’s wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the leader’s original intent. And in the substantive new preface, Elie Wiesel reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man 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.Amazon.com Review
In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal battle that consumed his family tree. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so excitedly believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no simple answers in this upsetting book, which probes life’s essential riddles with the lucid anguish only fantastic literature achieves. It inscription the crucial first step in Wiesel’s lifelong project to bear witness for persons who died.

This book should not be read by anyone who is likely to have nightmares based on horrific tales. This is an inappropriate choice for English teachers to assign as reading unless your students are all over the age of 16 and you know that none of them are theme to depression. If the book is included in a suggested reading list, it should be noted that the tale is very depressing. I establish my 14 year ancient son in tears reading this tale and I called his school to question that he not be required to perfect it which is what happened.

Elsie Wiesel, suffered right enough in persons death camps. How sad the event he veteran and lived to tell the world about it.
He wonders how can the God he once so excitedly believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur. It is mention over and over again biblically, that Jesus tells us that he is the way and the truth and the life. Elsie Wiesel, does not mention anything about Jesus Christ! But he survived and many others did not! I’m interested in wanting to know how much faith he had to overcome such Horror. Did he have faith in himself or God? Did he call on Jesus Christ? I am nterested in wanting to know if he wonders why God had mercy on his soul? I judge that Elsie Wiesel, has some hidden revelations. Oprah teaches that there are many paths to God. If the United states suffered a tribulation that man has never before suffered in our life time. Wouldn’t you want to be sure about how do we really contact the Creator God? It would save many lives and souls knowing the spiritual truth. People are wondering where is God or who has really heard from God in these modern times. God says that there would be many fake prophets in the world. And that the world would like it’s own. God’s prophets are truley despised. Mainly becasue they speak nothing but the truth. Some people find it hard to accept truth even when it is biblically place before them and manifested. Therefore right prophets have a hard time being recognizable in the world. They suffer much rejection before God justifies them. Maybe one day the world will hear from a right prophet. They are just ordinary people who are last but will be first one day.

Many of us have seen gory footage of German concentration camps, but Elie Wiesel fails to effectively transfer these pictures of cruelty to book form in “Night.” Wiesel’s understated, heavy-handed writing style may go some, but not me. I was disgusted at times by the atrocities described in the narrative, but permanently by the sterile language. By bringing the text to life, Wiesel could have made the agonizing deaths much more painful.
“Night” could have been half as long while still telling the same tale and achieving the same effect. This is not a healthy sign in any work of literature.
As in “Dawn,” the narrator’s suffering is brought about as a result of his own superstition – Eliezer is as much a victim of the Germans as he is of himself. For me, this makes it hard to pity him.
No work of art, and certainly not “Night,” is “beyond criticism.” Wiesel overestimates his ability to write his first book well on this hard theme. Perhaps he should have tried writing a few Chicken Soup tales first.

I’m worried this may have been recommended by Oprah, but I establish it terribly slow and dull. Some may get upset because in this politically right age, we’re supposed to have to like a book like this. But, frankly I’m sorry I wasted my money on this one

Excellent book, but the question is will Oprah question the validity of Wiesel’s tale as hard as she questioned James Frey’s book?
