Book Overview

Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. First published in 1960, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent boy and his father in Auschwitz. Wiesel writes of their battle for survival, and of his battle with God for a way to understand the wanton cruelty he witnesses each day.In the short novel Dawn (1961), a young man who has survived the Second World War and settled in Palestine is apprenticed to a Jewish terrorist gang. Command to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage, the former victim becomes an executioner.In The Accident , (1962), Wiesel again turns to fiction to question the limits of the spirit and the self: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life without the memories of the old? As the author writes in his introduction, "In Night it is the 'I' who speaks; in the other two [narratives], it is the 'I' who listens and questions."Wiesel's trilogy offers meditations on mankind's attraction to violence and on temptation of self-destruction.A Hill & Wang Teacher's Guide is available for this title.

If you have read Night by Eli Wiesel you must read his Trilogy- Night, Dawn, and Day

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 29, 2009

I love Eli Wiesel's story. The first book of his I read was Night, I think it was actually a required reading back when I was in middle school. It was this book which sparked my interest in reading survival stories from the Holocaust and other like literature from that era. A few years back I came across Eli Wiesel's trilogy: Night, Dawn, and Day. I was not aware that he had published any other books of this type until then...

review of Night Trilogy

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 25, 2009

This was powerful and thought provoking. It wasn't an easy or comfortable read, but I still think of the concepts presented quite often.

The Fire! The Furnace! Look, over there!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 31, 2000

The cries of a madwoman on an Auschwitz-bound cattle car are just one of many portents shepherding doomed souls on their way to Nazi furnaces. In "Night", the first of three books in this collection, Elie Wiesel recounts his deportation to the death camps where the rest of his family perished. The tragic weight of his witness to this obscene cruelty burdens the reader with the fates of the inmates and his reflections...
