Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books The Night Trilogy: Night/Dawn/Day (The Night Trilogy #1-3)

Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. First published in 1958, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent boy and his father in Auschwitz. Elie Wiesel writes of their battle for survival and of his battle with God for a way to understand the wanton cruelty he witnesses each day. In the short novel Dawn (1960), a young man who has survived World War II and settled in Palestine joins a Jewish underground movement and is commanded to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage. In Day (previously titled The Accident, 1961), Wiesel questions the limits of conscience: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life despite their memories? Wiesel's trilogy offers insights on mankind's attraction to violence and on the temptation of self-destruction.

Weigh Up Containing Books The Night Trilogy: Night/Dawn/Day (The Night Trilogy #1-3)

Night: The language used here is so haunting and beautiful that I often felt myself on the verge of tears. Its hard to say anything other than how chilling and important EWs memoir is to all generations. Dawn: I really found this piece quite interesting and I quite enjoyed it. This almost felt like an episode of The Twilight Zone due to the combination of the mystical/spiritual conflicts and real-life actions. Day (The Accident): I wasnt as keen on this story, but perhaps it takes a few readings

One of the frightening things about the Holocaust was the fact that in spite of what we wish to believe it was predominantly perpetrated by ordinary people. We like to think that only monsters do monstrous things. I think it is a comfort to us and a way of assuring ourselves that we could never do anything so heinous. The truth of human nature is a lot more complicated, however. I first read Night a while ago and what struck me was Wiesel's guilt over wishing at one point that his father would

Preface to the New TranslationForeword, by François Mauriac--NightPreface--DawnPreface--Day

These books are hard to read, as it is a true first-person portrayal of the horrors of concentration camps (Night) and then the permanent mental and emotional after-effects (Dawn and The Accident) in the survivor. Even though it is not happy reading, it is necessary that we all get a graphic and honest portrayal of the atrocities to ensure that it will never happen again.In my opinion, probably the worst effect for each young man/hero in each story (we could even argue that the three survivors

I gave three stars to the trilogy only because I would give 4-5 stars to the first book and 2-3 to the second and third ones. It's difficult to talk about the trilogy as a whole, because the three books are very different. For me, it was a mistake to read them all, because I appreciated the first one and struggled over the second and third books.The thing is that Night is pure memoirs, and these are must-read memoirs about the Holocaust.However, Dawn and Day (Accident in some editions) are

Dawn and Day I find much better than Night - but that is just my personal opinion. The short stories are an exercise in imagination on the part of Wiesel, who envisions situations in which he places a character veru much like himself. Because his character is always his age and a Holocaust survivor, he seems real, human, tangible, never fake or drawn out. I read this the day I visited his Memorial House in Sighetul Marmatiei, a town in my country of Romania. He was born and lived here before

I don't understand why this is called a trilogy. 'Night' is a holocaust memoir ; 'Dawn' and 'Day' are fiction novels about holocaust survivors. 'Night' was a good read but to be honest I expected it to be much better than it was. His memoir is mainly about the struggle with his faith, which I can understand, but that didn't appeal to me as much as other holocaust memoirs. 'Dawn' was a real drag to read. It's about a young holocaust-survivor who joins a Jewish underground movement in Palestine
