"Haunting in its graphic simplicity, Elie Wiesel's Night documents one of the most infamous crimes against humanity in a startlingly personal way. In this autobiographical account, Elie Wiesel tells of his deportation to the concentration camps at the age of 15 and his struggle to survive. In this new translation by his wife and new preface by the author, Wiesel seeks and successfully adds greater poignancy to his already deeply moving piece of history." -about.com
