Night
by Elie Wiesel
Recommendations from our site
“Probably the best known memoir that has been written about the experience of the death camps…he has the craft; he is a novelist and, unlike many memoirs (which are all important and all have information and all shed light), this has a literary kind of quality. He is able to bring to the focus of the reader a deep emotional power, and something also of the mysteriousness of what happened in the camps. There was something here that really reached the limits of human experience.” Read more...
