First published in 1960, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent boy and his father in Auschwitz. 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. <br><br>In the short novel <i>Dawn </i>(1961), a young man who has survived the Second World War and settled in Palestine is apprenticed to a Jewish terrorist gang. Command to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage, the former victim becomes an executioner.<br><br>In <i>The Accident</i>, (1962), Wiesel again turns to fiction to question the limits of the spirit and the self: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life without the memories of the old? As the author writes in his introduction, "In <i>Night </i>it is the 'I' who speaks; in the other two [narratives], it is the 'I' who listens and questions." <br><br>Wiesel's trilogy offers meditations on mankind's attraction to violence and on temptation of self-destruction.<br><br>A Hill & Wang Teacher's Guide is available for this title. <br></div> 1765237 1969 The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident total:520|5:290|4:171|3:52|2:6|1:1| 520 2303 775 87 4 0 false false Fri Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 06:11:28 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 12:41:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 12:53:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 19:27:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Oct 10 10:37:34 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 10:43:36 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 11:25:05 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 16:49:09 -0700 2009
