| Night (Oprah's Book Club) by Hill and Wang One Of the Most Important Books Of the 20th Century |
| Regardless of how many times I return to this book, it never fails to shock and inspire. An indispensable recollection of the horror of the Holocaust and one survivors struggle to reconcile his experience and his faith. |
| Night (Oprah's Book Club) by Hill and Wang Read the Triology |
This book is definitely one of my favorites. I was really sick with a stomach flu one time and I read the entire trilogy start to finish. I have never done that with any other book.
The imagary is amazing. Wiesel has a way of creating an environment of such hostile conditions that you feel it in your soul. Any other person would want to repress such horrid memories, but Elie brings them to the forefront of his mind, and I was left with such a feeling of gratitude when finishing this book it was overwhelming. |
| Night (Oprah's Book Club) by Hill and Wang Painfull |
Night, this book went through my soul.
Elie Wiesel described the pain, that many others and I have, in words that would be impossible for me to do.

| Night (Oprah's Book Club) by Hill and Wang Could we ever forget?, |
It is no use trying to describe the story, as it is darkest than its title (the Night). I suggest for everyone to read and discover it for yourself... I think it is only good that it is a rather short story. It is too heartbreaking to make it any longer. I respect Oprah to find the most meaningful stories for her Book Club. Another great title from Oprah's Book Club that I recently read is Middlesex: A Novel (Oprah's Book Club) |
| Night (Oprah's Book Club) by Hill and Wang written |
| One of the most moving and powerful books I've read. Elie Wiesel is a master in literature and shared his Holocaust experience with authenticity, pain and honesty. A must read... |

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. |

| 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 campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died. |
