Elie Weisel mines the Tanakh, Talmud, and hasidic legends for characters to analyze under his astute microscope. Weisel's prose is always magnificent, and this book is no different. He turns the texts and traditions over, this way and that, finding that we really didn't know what we thought we did about these characters. Under Weisel's skilled pen, the kingdom of darkness haunts the background of these tales, adding poignancy to events long past.

Weisel delved deep into the complex nature of humans and the human attempt to deal with society's constantly changing moral/ethical guides. I know I will be thinking about this book for a long time to come. Although the topic can be depressing, Weisel finds the beauty in the way his characters deal with the problems in front of them.

This book, like a more recent one by WG Sebald, The Emigrants, gives a speaking, stunningly well-written account of what it was like to be a Jew in central Europe in the first half of the 20th century. But it is a book that would fascinate anybody, even a deracinated Irishman like me.

The Worlds Of Elie Wiesel: An Overview Of His Career And His Major Themes is a biography written by Jack Kolbert, a personal friend of world-famous author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Focusing on Wiesel's personal struggles against human beings both malevolent and indifferent to malevolence, as well as his trials of faith with regard to a God that permitted the Holocaust, The Worlds Of Elie Wiesel is ultimately a testimony to Wiesel's conviction in the solidarity of the Jewish people. A first-rate companion book to Wiesel's work, The Worlds Of Elie Wiesel is very highly recommended to students of Holocaust Studies, as well as the non-specialist general reader of biographies focusing on influential men who have lived through "interesting times".

I loved the first biography by Elie Wiesel, All Rivers Run to the Sea. I loved his objectivity, his detached but sharp view on the incredible and often cruel incidents that happened in his life, as well as his reserved but firm believe and philosophy you can see behind it. I was fascinated by the personal story of this incredible person and was impressed by the power of his quiet words that was much powerful than too emotional accounts on the tragedy that we often hear.

However this book, And the Sea is Never Full, is very different from the previous volume. It is much more emotional and more centred around his phiolosophy on his religion. I am giving only 3 stars, not because it's not good - people who are interested in Wiesel's religious believe and stands most likely will find it interesting - but because I expected more stories on his life (and philosophy behind it) not believe itself, and found this book a bit too personal, as if written for himself rather than for readers.

Easily one of the best autobiographies of the last half of the century (when coupled with Volume One). It is almost hard to believe that a man with such vision, such drive, such intelligence could have written almost an understated autobiography which reads as easily as any novel on your summer reading list.

I strongly reccomend that anyone who wants to learn and be inspired by one man's drive to remember and honor (amd ensure that no one else forgets), read both volumes of this elegant autobiography.

Elie Wiesel's And The Sea Is Never Full provides the concluding volume of memoirs, relating his meetings with world leaders, his travels, and his diplomatic adventures. Familiarity with Wiesel's importance and his prior memoirs will lend a special appreciation for this concluding volume.

Elie Wiesel gives you a wide range view of the Holocaust and the continuing lives of the survivors. The story Night was the best of the three stories in the book. Night was the best because Wiesel wrote the story with more passion and emotion. The horrific incidents described in the book were so real that reader could connect with the author's pain. "I've got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He's the only one who's kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people." These words were spoken by Wiesel because he feels that God abandoned him. Incidents such as the Holocaust lead Wiesel to speak these words and loose his faith in religion. Any book that can capture this emotion should be indulged.

Both Dawn and the Accident showed a great deal of symbolic meaning. They both made refrences to Night a number of times. This showed that even though the Holocaust ended, Wiesel still continued to suffer. An example of symbolism in the book is Wiesel's transformation from the death in Night and the rebirth in Dawn. If there is to be a book required to read in school The Night Trilogy should be it.

The Night Trilogy was a very difficult book to read emotionaly. Eile was able to discribe his horrific experiences in such great detail it almost made you feel as if you were there. Elie was able to draw in readers with Night and to keep them wondering with Dawn and The Accident.

Night was by far the best of the three books since it was very facual and provoked your thoughts in ways they have never been provoked. I enjoyed reading this book for its historic value along with it's high emotional content.

Dawn and The Accident were also very good books but they streched the symbolic phrases to a point were you didnt want to hear them any longer. "Eyes" was a phrase heard all to often in the three books. It was a very significant phrase but used to much.

All in all it was a very good novel that I enjoyed reading. I recomend that anyone interested in the Holocaust or for just an enomtional read might try The Night Trilogy.

Dawn is the second of a three book series that tells the autobiographical journey of Elie Weisel's life. Weisel is the only survivor of a family that experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, after which, he travels to Palestine to fight for the independence of Israel as a separate state after his recruitment by a terrorist, Gad. Weisel is faced with the fearful task of executing a British soldier, John Dawson, for the sake of the Movement. The British have taken Ben the Moche hostage and are to kill him at dawn, the motive behind Dawson's execution. The book takes place in one evening, several hours. The thoughts and emotions behind having been ordered to end a man's life are the focus of the book, and its depth and intensity will take you to the last page in time sooner than what the plot covers.
Weisel sees the sun begin to rise, and walks down to the prisoners condemnation. The time spent between Dawson and Weisel is unimaginable, and the ambiance so dark and saturated that it is nearly destructive to quit reading before the end.

Dawn is an extremely good book; it was very intense and mature. Not everyone would be able to handle some of the events in this book or interpret a phrase or character in the story. The book is a very fast read and you almost experience the torture along with him, your heart aches at the end along with his. It is an emotional book, not for those weak of heart or mind, but over all is was awesome. I would recommend it to any one who has read Night, if not, read that one first.

The novel titled Night by Elie Wiesel is a phenominal autobiography. This novel about Elie gave us the full experience on what it was like to be in the Holocaust. To read about the struggle and survival of these innocent people, made us realize how fortunate we really are. The Jewish community went through a period of torture, pain and starvation. Being put into the cattle cars, witnessing people getting out into cremetories, running for many miles, working from dusk until dawn and not having the proper nutrition are only some of the things they went through.
We like this book because it shows how people had a strong will to survive. Their future goals kept them going and they tried to stay alive. Many people strived to keep alive and wouldn't let a small obsticle overcome their goals. Others couldn't adapt to the terrible conditions at the concentration camps. They were very strong inside because they witnessed their loved ones being killed. The book Night was a very emotional novel explaining the horrors of the Holocaust. This will make you think twice before you complain about what you don't or can't have and make you appreciate life itself.

This was the first book I have ever read written in first person regarding the terrible holocaust. I had read and seen the movies on Anne Frank and The Hiding Place and always wondered what happened next. I realize now that I was really afraid to know what happened next! My entire family went to see Schinlder's List and we all were completely stunned to silence after the movie. Several times I had to put Mr. Wiesel's book down and catch my breathe. Once I was talking to a friend about Schindler's List and asked her what her reaction was and she said, "Oh, the power of the human spirit is so great!" I had to keep telling myself that while I was reading Night. This book was actually required reading for my daughter's sophomore English class is high school so I also had the Cliff Notes - even those took my breathe away! Mr Weisel is a wonderful man and I pray he is enjoying the life he has continued here in the United States. We are so lucky to have him! God bless him.

Night written by Elie Wiesel is one of the most powerful novels I have ever read. The Nobel Peace Prize winner of 1986 tells a terrifying tale in graphic detail of Elie Wiesel's experience of the World War II and inparticular the way the Jewish society was treated by the Nazis.
This book shows that if you have faith there is hope. Elie Wiesel had faith. He survived through the ghettos, the torment of the Nazis, stuffy crowed trains, lack of food and water and two different death camps. The description of the two death camps is so real and horrible that you wish in some parts it was not, and wish this was only a fictitious novel. It was only faith that helped him through this.
He explores some very strong theological ideas, the strongest though being, why does God let such suffering happen. In one episode three people are 'strung up' and hung. Two of which are men and one a small child. The men die quite quickly but the boy is so light he gradually suffocates to death over more than half an hour. Elie describes the way they are all (the men and boys of that section of the death camp) forced to watch this boy die, and as they do one man says, 'Where is God now?' and Elie answers him in his thoughts, 'Where is He? Here He is ' He is hanging here on these gallows''
Just those powerful lines remind us of the death of Christ and the amount of suffering he went through and his identification through suffering with all who suffer. It might not strike Elie that way because he was of the Jewish faith but to Christian it certainly strikes us that way. This novel is a very intriguing one that should be read by everyone (when they are of an age suitable enough to read it) so that in the future this may never happen again. When people do read this they will be able to see what pure hatred can do to people and why it is important to keep the faith.
