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.

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. [This book] 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.

An autobiographical narrative, in which the author describes his experiences in Nazi concentration camps.

Presents a true account of the author's experiences as a Jewish boy in a Nazi concentration camp.

"Wiesel's account of his time in concentration camps during the Holocaust with updated front and back matter to include speeches and essays commemorating his recent death"--

The narrative of a boy who lived through Auschwitz and Buchenwald provides a short and terrible indictment of modern humanity.

A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family... the death of his innocence... and the death of his God. "When Elie Wiesel died in July 2016, the White House issued a memorial statement in which President Barack Obama called him "the conscience of the world." The whole of the president's eloquent tribute will appear as a foreword to this memorial edition of Night. "Like millions of admirers, I first came to know Elie through his account of the horror he endured during the Holocaust simply because he was Jewish," wrote the president. In 1986, when Wiesel received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote, "Elie Wiesel was rescued from the ashes of Auschwitz after storm and fire had ravaged his life. In time he realized that his life could have purpose: that he was to be a witness, the one who would pass on the account of what had happened so that the dead would not have died in vain and so the living could learn." Night, which has sold millions of copies around the world , is the very embodiment of that conviction. It is written in simple, understated language, yet it is emotionally devastating, never to be forgotten. Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz and then Buchenwald. Night is the shattering record of his memories of the death of his mother, father, and little sister, Tsipora; the death of his own innocence; and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night," writes Wiesel. "Never shall I forget . . . even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself." These words are etched into the wall of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Far more than a chronicle of the sadistic realm of the camps, Night also addresses many of the philosophical and personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of the Holocaust. The memorial edition of Night includes the unpublished text of a speech that Wiesel delivered before the United Nations General Assembly on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz entitled "Will the World Ever Know." These remarks powerfully resonate with Night and with subsequent acts of genocide."--

Night (1960) is a work by Elie Wiesel about his experience with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944-45, at the height of the Holocaust toward the end of the Second World War. In just over 100 pages of sparse and fragmented narrative, Wiesel writes about the death of God and his own increasing disgust with humanity, reflected in the inversion of the parent-child relationship as his father declines to a helpless state and Wiesel becomes his resentful teenage caregiver. "If only I could get rid of this dead weight ... Immediately I felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever." In Night everything is inverted, every value destroyed. "Here there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends," a Kapo tells him. "Everyone lives and dies for himself alone.

Un enfant juif face au mal absolu. Re?cit de l'expe?rience ve?cue par l'auteur dans les camps nazis (Birkenau, Auschwitz, Buna et Buchenwald). Ce roman est a? la base de toute l'oeuvre de Wiesel et doit e?tre lu en premier.

N� en 1928 � Sighet en Transylvanie, Elie Wiesel �tait un adolescent lorsqu'en 1944 il fut d�port� avec sa famille � Auschwitz puis � Birkenau. La Nuit est le r�cit des souvenirs qu'Elie Wiesel conserve de la s�paration d'avec sa m�re et sa petite s�ur qu'il ne reverra plus jamais et du camp o� avec son p�re il partage la faim, le froid, les coups, les tortures... et la honte de perdre sa dignit� d'homme quand il ne r�pondra pas � son p�re mourant. "La Nuit, �crivait Elie Wiesel en 1983, est un r�cit, un �crit � part, mais il est la source de tout ce que j'ai �crit par la suite. Le v�ritable th�me de La Nuit est celui du sacrifice d'Isaac, le th�me fondateur de l'histoire juive. Abraham veut tuer Isaac, le p�re veut tuer son fils, et selon une tradition l�gendaire le p�re tue en effet son fils. L'exp�rience de notre g�n�ration est, � l'inverse, celle du fils qui tue le p�re, ou plut�t qui survit au p�re. La Nuit est l'histoire de cette exp�rience." Elie Wiesel a re�u le prix Nobel de la paix en 1986. La com�dienne Guila Clara Kessous a re�u en 2012 le prix d'Artiste pour la paix de l'UNESCO. C'est � elle qu'Elie Wiesel et Josette Keisermann, pr�sidente de l'Association HAC, ont confi� la lecture de ce bouleversant t�moignage.

Escalofriante relato de un adolescente deportado a los campos de exterminio nazis que se convierte en testigo de la muerte de su familia y de su Dios.

Night (Night) by Elie Wiesel (1958)

A new translation by Marion Wiesel.

Historiens viktigaste vittnesmål ELIE var 11 år när andra världskriget bröt ut. Ett par år senare tvingades han och hans familj från sitt hem, innan de tillfångatogs och transporterades till Auschwitz.  På smärtsamt återhållsam prosa beskriver Elie Wiesel nazisternas hänsynslösa övergrepp och den fruktansvärda vardagen i koncentrationsläger.  NATTEN konfronterar läsaren med mänsklighetens lägsta egenskaper, och de fasansfulla konsekvenser som kan bli resultatet av att makten hamnar i fel händer. Det är en självbiografi som bör läsas av alla generationer. Alice Bah Kuhnke har skrivit ett förord som belyser bokens betydelse för vår samtid och översättningen innehåller text som saknats i äldre utgåvor. Boken är även kompletterad med ett efterord av författaren. [Elib]

Natten är ett intensivt gripande vittnesmål från en historisk katastrof vi aldrig får glömma. Elie Wiesel var 11 år när andra världskriget bröt ut. Bara några år senare tvingades först han och hans familj från sitt hem, därefter tillfångatogs de och transporterades till Auschwitz. Natten är Elie Wiesels smärtsamt levande dagboksanteckningar, från nazisternas skövlande av familjens hemby till den fruktansvärda vardagen i koncentrationsläger. På vackert återhållsam prosa beskriver Elie Wiesel hur förrädiskt lätt det mänskliga förnuftet kan utplånas av ondskan, och vilken styrka som krävs för att börja om efter en förödande tragedi...
