Day: A Novel (Night Trilogy Book 3)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Literature & Fiction

"Not since Albert Camus has there been such an eloquent spokesman for man." --The New York Times Book Review The publication of Day restores Elie Wiesel&apos;s original title to the novel initially published in English as The Accident and clearly establishes it as the powerful conclusion to the author&apos;s classic trilogy of Holocaust literature, which includes his memoir Night and novel Dawn . "In Night it is the ‘I&apos; who speaks," writes Wiesel. "In the other two, it is the ‘I&apos; who listens and questions." In its opening paragraphs, a successful journalist and Holocaust survivor steps off a New York City curb and into the path of an oncoming taxi. Consequently, most of Wiesel&apos;s masterful portrayal of one man&apos;s exploration of the historical tragedy that befell him, his family, and his people transpires in the thoughts, daydreams, and memories of the novel&apos;s narrator. Torn between choosing life or death, Day again and again returns to the guiding questions that inform Wiesel&apos;s trilogy: the meaning and worth of surviving the annihilation of a race, the effects of the Holocaust upon the modern character of the Jewish people, and the loss of one&apos;s religious faith in the face of mass murder and human extermination.
