This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElie Wiesel (b. 1928) was fifteen years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the distinguished French writer, Francois Mauriac, he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his internationally acclaimed memoir, \u003ci\u003eLa Nuit\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e, which has since been translated into more than thirty languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e, you might also like Primo Levi's \u003ci\u003eThe Periodic Table\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A slim volume of terrifying power'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'To the best of my knowledge no one has left behind him so moving a record' \u003cbr\u003eAlfred Kazin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Wiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art' \u003cbr\u003eCurt Leviant, \u003ci\u003eSaturday Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220773261656,"sku":"9780140189896","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140189896.jpg?v=1780023659","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/night-9","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
