ELIE WIESEL was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. The author of more than fifty internationally acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, he was Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities and University Professor at Boston University for forty years. Wiesel died in 2016.
“Hassidic stories and rabbinic interpretations shine through the
personal reminiscences and humble prayers addressed to God.”
—Saturday Review
“In this book of anecdotes, autobiographical fragments,
conversations with victims, introspective analyses, dialogues of
faith, and essays, [Wiesel] searches among the testimony of the
survivors and contemporary events for possible answers or lessons
that Auschwitz might have offered the generation born since the
war. Society, he states, has not changed, and nothing has been
learned.”
—Publishers Weekly
“In an incredibly moving collection of essays, tales, and
autobiographical sketches, Wiesel describes the agonizing plight of
the Holocaust survivor who must try to relate that which is beyond
words, and to search for meaning in experiences that defy
understanding. Many of the haunting themes, memorable characters,
and striking episodes of Wiesel’s novels are intimately revealed in
these pages.”
—Library Journal
