Publisher Description
Narrated by 2026 Audio Publishers Association Hall of Fame inductee George Guidall!
A new translation from the French by Marion Wiesel. Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps.
This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Prepare to be deeply moved by this poignant and chilling firsthand account of the Holocaust. When young Eliezar’s Romanian community is first warned that Jews are being expelled from their homes and sent away to a terrifying fate, nobody believes that the reality could be as gruesome as the rumors. Nobel Prize–winning author Elie Wiesel’s disquieting autobiographical novel reflects the startled observations of a young teen torn from his home and thrust into a concentration camp, where starvation, torture, and violence threaten to strip away not just the dignity of every captive there, but their humanity as well. Narrator George Guidall captures the shifts in young Elie as he witnesses unspeakable atrocities day in and day out. Night is an invaluable eyewitness account of the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis.

Life changing story
This nonfiction story changed my view on history. Definitely recommend reading, authors description was very well written. Holocaust Survivor, very easy to follow and understand.
The Quiet That Shatters: Revisiting Wiesel’s Night
I’ve read countless Holocaust memoirs, but Night pierces differently—deeper, quieter, more enduring. Wiesel’s restraint is what devastates me most: the way he refuses to sensationalize what humanity should never have to imagine. His words are spare, but the silences between them ache. Each page holds both witness and void, faith and its unraveling. And then that final moment—the mirror, the hollow face, the reflection of a self and a world forever altered. It’s not just a memory of suffering; it’s the measure of what survives when language and belief collapse. Night endures because it speaks as much through what it cannot say.
10/10
Surprising for a very short story, but this book was executed perfectly. The story was amazing and it really kept me thinking about WWII. Funny how this is the second book I’ve read about the holocaust in a row. This was a horribly sad story with so many sad things that’s happened to Eliezer, but a kind of happy ending overall. Amazing book
