“Man carries his fiercest enemy within himself. Hell isn‘t others. It‘s ourselves. Hell is the burning fever that makes you feel cold.”

The author once again grapples with life and love and death, just as he did in the first of his series: Night. This time he is flat in bed, after an accident in which he was run over by a NYC cab…

Mehso-so

The final book in the loosely connected Night trilogy- this was not an easy or enjoyable read. It‘s dark & philosophical begging the reader to ask why, how?! An elderly man who has physically survived the concentration camps but who is haunted in his everyday existence is hit by a cab in NYC leaving him once again fighting for survival. Dark & depressing. Not a book I‘d easily recommend.

BarbaraBB I never knew it was a trilogy… sounds tough. Great photo though 👌🏽😘 14mo
Cinfhen It‘s a loose trilogy- we are meant to follow Eli as he navigates his way from concentration camp to freedom but the other two books were not as impactful as Night. And Dawn & Day are “novellas” where as Night was autobiographical @BarbaraBB - photo was taken in the Fez airport 🤩 14mo
BarbaraBB Interesting! I‘ll be visiting Fez too. Did you like it? 14mo
squirrelbrain Sounds like a tough read. 14mo
Librarybelle Interesting. I had not heard much about Day and Dawn. 14mo
Cinfhen I did like Fez - the only city I wasn‘t crazy about was Casablanca but it was really nice to be near the water @BarbaraBB I think 12 days was just too much - we were also traveling with a group & I started to crave my own time which I didn‘t have much of. 14mo
Cinfhen Dawn & Day are very intense and definitely cover the philosophical issues about survivor‘s guilt and the meaning of living a good life/ rewarding life @squirrelbrain @Librarybelle 14mo
Cinfhen I forgot this was my January #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks 14mo
TheAromaofBooks Sounds intense!!! 14mo
Kitta I really want to read these. 14mo
Cinfhen I‘ll be curious to hear your thoughts @Kitta if you ever pick up the books…definitely was a challenging read @TheAromaofBooks 14mo
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen twelve days with a group sounds pretty intense indeed! I‘ll be going with my bff for 9 days. She‘s a reader too and we‘ll be traveling by train mostly, which seems quite relaxed! 14mo
Cinfhen I‘m super excited to hear more about your trip @BarbaraBB do u have an itinerary yet?? 9 days is awesome and the train system looks like an excellent way to travel 14mo
BarbaraBB We‘re thinking of Fez-Rabat-Tangiers-Chefchaouet. We‘ve been to Marrakech twice already and Casablanca is not that special indeed. I‘d love to hear how your itinerary looked like! We‘ll email when you‘re settled back in ❤️ 14mo
Cinfhen Your itinerary sounds amazing @BarbaraBB we focused on southern Morocco but the same tour group is going back in October and they are doing Tangiers - Gibraltar - Toledo - Cordoba - Seville ( so more of Spain) I‘m not sure I want to travel with a tour group again, but it was helpful for our first time going, especially navigating the food & language 14mo
BarbaraBB That‘s a great trip too they‘ll be making. But I can see why going with a tour group once is enough. The benefit of living in a small country is having to learn many languages. My friend and I speak French so that makes traveling on our own much easier. 14mo
Kitta @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Agreed about Casablanca, we stopped in Essaouria which was nicer. I‘ve heard good things about Fez and Rabat. I stayed on my own for a few days in Marrakech which was daunting. My French is so-so and being a woman alone in an Arab country is difficult. That said I‘m in Egypt now by myself, and it‘s fine. But I‘m in touristy places (Cairo, Giza, Sharm El Sheik). I hope it‘s okay for you & bff, Barbara! Where do you live btw? 14mo
Kitta @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Ps sorry to drop into your conversation! But it was a very interesting place to visit (riads are beautiful) despite being a bit scared at night on my own. I travel a lot by myself and never really felt that way about being out after dark alone before, but a man twisted my arm in the souk and sprained it, which freaked me out. I ended up meeting other women travelling, a bit by accident, and joined them for dinner. Be safe! 14mo
BarbaraBB @Kitta thanks for dropping in! Kudos for traveling by yourself! I can imagine that you don‘t always feel safe at night. Men in Arabic countries often grow up with a totally wrong idea about western women. I am from the Netherlands. 14mo
Cinfhen Glad you shared @Kitta you‘re very brave for traveling alone 🙌🏻I agree, Morocco felt safe and almost everyone I met was super respectful and friendly but the sellers in the souk and street vendors were very forceful - PERSISTENT in their desire to make a sale😅 I was just saying I want to go to Egypt!!! I‘m glad you feel safe there. How many days do you think you need?? Did you feel the earthquake yesterday??? 14mo
Kitta @BarbaraBB yes they seem to have the wrong idea. I‘m also mostly queer (not a fact I‘m broadcasting here) so no matter what they offer, I‘m not interested! One man offered me 200 camels yesterday for marriage lol. Oh the Netherlands, cool! I‘ve never been but it‘s on my list. My travel list is a lot like my TBR list, it‘s pretty big. 14mo
Kitta @Cinfhen yeah most people are friendly but the sellers are crazy! Egypt is similar, people are trying to make a sale and everything requires tips. I‘m only here a week. I‘m doing Cairo, Giza, Saqqara, and Sharm El Sheik for scuba diving. I‘d add Luxor and Alexandria as well if I was doing it again but I had limited time and wanted to prioritize diving this trip. I ❤️🤿 it‘s some of the best in the world. No didn‘t feel the earthquake! 14mo
Cinfhen Cool @Kitta ♥️My son was recently in Thailand and got his scuba certification there. I‘m terrified for some reason but I‘m obsessed with undersea life. I‘m sure it‘s amazing 🤩 14mo
Kitta @Cinfhen that‘s so cool! I‘ve been diving in Thailand, it was great. I‘m sure he enjoyed it a lot. My dad is too scared too, but it‘s a great way to see undersea creatures, and shipwrecks! I recommend everyone tries it if they‘re a good swimmer. 14mo
BarbaraBB @Kitta 200 camels lol! But I totally see why you wouldn‘t fall for it! 14mo

This book closes the Night Trilogy by Elie Wiesel. And that's what the book feels like: a closure. The book asks about life and death, and if it's allowed to be a Holocaust survivor. Why did one survive, but the others didn't? How and why can one move one, while all the others don't? It's a slow, deep story, filled with hurt and pain. But Wiesel goes further, drags himself back to life - but how about our narrator? Can he do the same?

And book #3 is done!! What an ending in the series. If you want to feel what mental struggles people had from surviving concentration camps then read this trilogy! Written so well. Heartbreaking! 😭

Angelica Hopes I cried listening to it in audiobook as I finished it the other day. Currently I am reading “Dawn” by Elie Wiesel. 3y

This trilogy has been so moving and heartbreaking. His true story is a must read in Night, and both the fictional Dawn and Day take looks at how people, the few “lucky” survivors, try to move on as best they can. In Dawn, making impossible choices as they try to take a step to a different future. This installment, Day, deals a lot with the intense feelings of disconnect and survivor‘s guilt suffered by a different group of survivors.

TheBookgeekFrau I never heard of Dawn and Day...Definitely need to read them! Thank you 😊 5y
GingerAntics I think I‘m doing the whole trilogy in 2019. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @C.Perone You‘re welcome.... they are different from Night, Night is his personal story...Dawn and Day are fictions, but I couldn‘t help reading them thinking they were his way of understanding & working through the trouble he must of heard other survivors talk about as they tried to adjust to life again in the aftermath. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics They are all short story lengths, so totally worth adding in...the labor there is emotional not page count, but very worthwhile. 5y
GingerAntics I‘ve read Night twice now. I‘m thinking of maybe doing an audiobook for Night this go round. Dawn and Day have been on my list for a while, but I‘ve never been able to get them, so it comes down to being able to get them from the library. 5y

I count on myself and on the patient. Or, if you prefer, on the life in the diseased flesh. Life wants to live. Life wants to go on. It is opposed to death. It fights.

“Day” was my least favorite out of the Night Trilogy, however, it was no less powerful or full of gorgeous prose than the other two pieces.

The 3rd book in the Night trilogy. Day is a fictional account of a holocaust survivor who moves to America, gets hit by a vehicle and gravely injured. Of the three books this was the one I enjoyed the least, though I still very much enjoyed it. Even though two of the books in the trilogy are fictional, they all sort of tell a story of how those who have been through unimaginable suffering go through life after & try to make sense of it all.

"DAY by Elie Wiesel is not a book I would describe as ‘enjoyable.' There is nothing remotely enjoyable about reading about the pain, the raw misery, or the anguish of the haunt-filled nightmares of a Holocaust survivor. DAY, while not a long book, is compellingly persuasive. I suggest consuming this story rather than reading it. Allow your mind to travel back unfettered by predisposition and predilection.

Elie Wiesel could not write a bad book. Day is another powerful story of survival.

Just read this and Dawn; I'd read Night awhile ago. Although very little happens, I enjoyed both, especially Dawn.

RIP, Elie Wiesel, who died today aged 87.

CAGirlReading So sad😢, an incredible author and person...RIP 8y
Hooked_on_books Oh man, huge loss. 😔 8y
CherylDeFranceschi Oh no. That's terribly sad. He was the most compelling and eloquent speaker I've seen in my whole life. He will be missed. 8y
Sarah1960 He was so brave in his life. First his survival, then bringing the story to us all in words on paper so eloquently, that we could be aware and most of all never allow it to never happen again. RIP "A True Hero"! 8y
