Night

A powerful new English translation by Marion Wiesel brings renewed clarity to Elie Wiesel’s most renowned work: Night, a stark and deeply moving autobiographical account of his experiences as a teenager imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps.

Rendered by Marion Wiesel, the author’s wife and longtime translator, this edition strives to capture the tone, nuance, and emotional force closest to the spirit of the original French text. It also includes a substantial new preface in which Elie Wiesel reflects on the book’s lasting significance and his lifelong commitment to ensuring that the world remembers the depths of cruelty human beings are capable of inflicting on one another.

More than a record of the daily horrors, moral distortions, and brutality that defined life in camps such as Auschwitz concentration camp and Buchenwald concentration camp, Night confronts the deeper moral and philosophical questions raised by the The Holocaust. Through its haunting reflections, the memoir examines not only what happened, but also what those events mean, and the enduring legacy they leave behind.
