Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. etwas berieben. - Englisch. - Elie Wiesel (geboren am 30. September 1928 in Sighetu Marmatiei, Königreich Rumänien; gestorben am 2. Juli 2016 in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten) war ein rumänisch-US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Hochschullehrer und Publizist. Als Überlebender des Holocausts verfasste er zahlreiche Romane und sonstige Publikationen zu diesem Thema und erhielt 1986 den Friedensnobelpreis für seine Vorbildfunktion im Kampf gegen Gewalt, Unterdrückung und Rassismus. - Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. 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. In the short novel Dawn (1961), a young man who has survived the Second World War and settled in Palestine is apprenticed to a Jewish terrorist gang. Commanded to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage, the former victim becomes an executioner. In The Accident (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 Night it is the T who speaks; in the other two [narratives], it is the T who listens and questions." / Wiesel's trilogy offers meditations on mankind's attraction to violence and on the temptation of self-destruction. / ELIE WIESEL, the author of some twenty books, is Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He and his family live in New York City. Mr. Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. (Verlagstext) ISBN 0374521409

As campuses burn amidst the unrest of the Sixties and his own generation rebels, the son is drawn to his father's circle of wartime friends in search of clues to the past. Finally discovering that his brooding father has been haunted for years by his role in the murder of a brutal SS officer just after the war, young Tamiroff learns that the Nazi is still alive. Haunting, poetic, and very contemporary, The Fifth Son builds to an unforgettable climax as the son sets out to complete his father's act of revenge. (Verlagstext) ISBN 0805210830
