Night | Elie Wiesel
post image

Rereading this today (for the nth time) in honor of Elie Wiesel's passing. This book changed my life and taught me so much. Rest in peace, Elie Wiesel.

Inked.and.nerdy It's remarkable how the same words can affect so many lives in so many ways. It is because of people like Elie Weisel that I can believe in the good in people. That I can believe that good can, indeed, come from something evil. This book changed my life. Such a loss for the world. 8y
eeeek @Inked.and.nerdy YES. As a teen when I first read it, it opened my eyes to the horrors men can do to each other, but also how some can rise above it and bring a message of peace and goodwill to the world. Every reread reminds me of that and I will be forever grateful to Elie Wiesel. 8y

"That one was so beautiful I used to watch him sleep. If I had to sum up what he did to me, I'd say it was this: he made me sing along to all the bad songs on the radio. Both when he loved me and when he didn't."

I bought this book from the man himself after touring Tuol Sleng prison when I was in Cambodia last year. Meeting someone who actually lived through that hell was a very humbling, sobering experience, and so was reading this book.

Reread this new edition about ten years after reading the original, and it's still as thrilling and tension-filled as the first time. The commentary on Philippine beaurocracy and society and the Church is still very relevant and relatable. Can't wait for the movie.
