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.
