A powerful coping tool
Night/Dawn/Day
The Fire!The Furnace!Look, over there! In "Dawn", Wiesel hasmigrated to Palestine and faces the duty to execute a captured prisoner. His long night of contemplation and uncertainty exposes his preoccupationwith killing and killers and again with death: "Death," Kalman, thegrizzled master, told me, "is a being without arms or legs or mouth orhead; it is all eyes. If ever you meet a creature with eyes everywhere, youcan be sure that it is death." (p.140).It is a preoccupation to besqueezed only from one who has not fully lost his faith or his humanity.Abeggar explains the face of the night:"Listen," he said, digging hisfingers into my arm."I'm going to teach you the art of distinguishingbetween day and night.Always look at a window, and failing that look intothe eyes of a man.If you see a face, any face, then you can be sure thatnight has succeeded day.For, believe me, night has a face." (p.126) Fear, night, suffering, and evil are his companions, and he explores themconstantly."Being afraid is nothing.Fear is only a color, a backdrop, alandscape." (p.174). Until, in "Day", he survives a terrible accidentand is faced with his own complacent acceptance of mortality.He struggleswith the urge to explain to his talented young doctor the futility offighting againstdeath, and reaches an epiphany when he understands thetragedy of splashing others with his suffering."Suffering brings out thelowest, the most cowardly in man.There is a phase of suffering you reachbeyond which you become a brute:beyond it you sell your soul - and worse,the souls of your friends - for a piece of bread, for some warmth, for amoment of oblivion, of sleep." (p.247). These stories are powerful andfrightening,.Death is an implacable enemy, but also a partner for lifewho never goes away and will always win in the end.Wiesel has stared atevil, his stories are wrenching.

Elie Wiesel: The Voice of the Jews
Fascinating
The continuation of a great man's story
very personal However this book, And the Sea is Never Full, is very different from the previous volume. It is much more emotional and more centred around his phiolosophy on his religion.I am givingonly 3 stars, not because it's not good - people who are interested in Wiesel's religious believe and stands most likely will find it interesting - but because I expected more stories on his life (and philosophy behind it) not believe itself, and found this book a bit too personal, as if written for himself rather than for readers.
An Inspirational Man, An Important Book I strongly reccomend that anyone who wants to learnand be inspired by one man's drive to remember and honor (amd ensure thatno one else forgets), read both volumes of this elegant autobiography. ... Read more |

The Holocaust as Madness
The Twilight of Madness
In search of the Savior
Insanity or Love? The novel evokes sympathy for God as a concluding note and in the face of anger and accusation because of the holocaust we are left with an unveiled God in tears and pain through the accusation 'you could have stopped it - you should have stopped it'. This is a short novel the weaves a masterful tapestry of emotions, history, theology, accusation and theodicy. It's setting in a clinic is unique, the patients are loveable, understandable. Wiesel leads the reader to be on everyone's side, in everyone's shoes. A stunning novel - well worth coming to terms with and reading over and over again.
Not as Perplexing as kex86 found it! For readers who have thoughtpreviously about the various shades of madness and those who findthemselves afflicted (Robert Persig's 'Lila' as an example) and for readerswho have spent any time reflecting on the inexcapable impact of theHolocaust on survivors and their next generation...then 'Twilight' is amystical and brutally real novel depicting the terror of just one familyout of the countless thousands. ...

Found Wanting
excellent book
Mr. Wiesel should have just had "Q" show up. I am a cowgirl from Arizona and I would have put up with the Judges nonsense for about 15 minutes max.Then I would have acted.Mr. Wiesel spend why too much time on thought and not enough on action.Whatever.
Like nothing I've read before
A cryptic novel that explores the value of a life. The travelers, four men and a woman, have secrets and worries that plague them.One of them is terminally ill, another seeks to regain memories of his earlier life, and a third carries a letter that may have serious political ramifications.The host, who calls himself "The Judge," starts to play a malevolent game with his guests.He cruelly informs them that after they reveal the intimate details of their lives, the least worthy among them will die.Also in the cabin is the Hunchback, the Judge's servant, who is a severely deformed man that the Judge took in when no one else would care for him.The Hunchback has secret thoughts of his own that he keeps carefully hidden. This slim novel (approximately 200 pages long) is filled with convoluted philosophical musings.The travelers engage in verbal sparring matches with one another and with the Judge.Unfortunately, none of the characters come to life, and it is unclear what the Judge, the Hunchback and the travelers are supposed to represent.What is Wiesel trying to say about the significance of an individual's life?I was unable to detect a coherent message in this novel. After having read Wiesel's touching and deeply meaningful works on the Holocaust, I was surprised by how unmoved "The Judges" left me. ... Read more |

An Incredible Testimony Wiesel's story unfolds in the very beginning, as a dialogue of sorts between Azriel and a young man who is ready to take his own life.This "dialogue" is somewhat confusing at first, as the reader is not sure whom is speaking which lines.Azriel is affronted by this man's desire to take his life, an action that goes directly agains the Talmud and the Jewish faith, and he believes the story of Kolvillag may save this young man.He therefore tells the story of his master and mentor, Moshe, the madman of Kolvillag.In the 1920s, a Christian boy is found murdered and the Christians in the community begin to spread rumors, and then to believe these rumors, that the Jews are responsible.(The term Christian could easily fall into quotation marks since it only implies ethnicity, not action; for the actions of these men are hardly Christian.)In order to preserve and protect the Jews, Moshe decides to take the fall and admit to the murder of a young boy he has never met.He hopes that his action will appease those who oppose the Jews.How wrong he turns out to be.The Christians, hungry for blood, might not be satisfied with the blood of one; they might demand the blood of all. Wiesel is a master storyteller, weaving his faith so artfully with his fiction that "The Oath" reads as a factual event.Perhaps it is because it describes the seemingly endless plight of Jews and the persecution they have endured for generations.The holocaust of Kolvillag is the precursor for the Holocaust of World War II.Wiesel's words are often profound and philosophical and are rooted deeply in faith and tradition."The Oath" is an incredible story of the ties that bind us to our faith and traditions, and how hard it is to break those ties; it is even more incredible for the very possibility that Kolvillag (or a town just like it) actually existed at one time.

Legends of Our Time
Israel is Oppressed Most of Wiesel's books are fiction, but in this one, he is the main character.The book is thoughtful and thought provoking.My copy was given me by a jewish friend whom I had to convince I wanted to keep it; she wanted to keep it too!(I normally return borrowed books). Haunting when Wiesel returns to Sighet in Romania to walk the streets of his hometown.He reflected "Nothing had changed.The house was the same, the street was the same, the world was the same, God was the same.Only the jews had disappeared."Can you imagine anything like that? If it is any consolation, and I hope Mr. Wiesel is not offended, "behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, behold your salvation comes, and his recompense with Him.Isaiah 62:11"And, from Isaiah 61:8 "the Lord loves justice, He hates robbery and wrong."And from Isaiah 25:8 "and the Lord God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and will swallow up death in victory." And if Christians do not see the writing on the wall and see our own guilt in what transpired in this last century, and at least respond with knocking knees, as Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, did, then Christianity is in deep trouble.But those are my own reflections not Wiesel's.He states in this book "That is what I reproach us for: our boundless arrogance in thinking we know everything."And "I repeat: hatred is no solution." ...
