An enduring classic of Holocaust literature, Night offers a personal and unforgettable account of the appalling horrors of Hitler's reign of terror. Through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, we behold the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in. Narrator George Guidall intensifies the emotional impact as blind hope turns to utter horror. His performance captures the profound agony of young Eliezer as he witnesses the suffering and death of his family and loses all that he holds sacred.

      Elie Wiesel's memoir of life in the Nazi death camps has been reissued with a new translation by Wiesel's wife, Marion. Read by George Guidall, this new edition is a brilliant and haunting reminder of these horrific crimes, as well as a testament to Wiesel's faith and resilience. Guidall is the ideal reader, and gives yet another masterful performance. Every word Guidall utters reminds the listener of the fear, the suffering, and the hatred Wiesel witnessed and experienced as he drew upon his every instinct to fight for survival. The audio edition also contains a new preface by Wiesel, as well as Guidall's performance of Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. NIGHT is already a classic, and this audio edition is a superb complement to the text. D.J.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

      The Holocaust is the defining experience of Nobel laureate, writer, lecturer and activist Elle Wiesel. NIGHT is his harrowing eye-witness account of the horrors he experienced. Rosenblatt has an expressive, unctuous, youthful voice, a great deal of commitment to his text, but, alas, neither taste nor technique. His NIGHT is violent melodrama rendered awkwardly. Y.R.

      The Holocaust is the defining experience of Nobel laureate, writer, lecturer and activist Elie Wiesel. NIGHT is his harrowing eye-witness account of the horrors he experienced. Guidall has an expressive, mellow and mature voice, commitment to his text, and consummate judgment and technique. His NIGHT is heartrending, tragic, compelling, beautiful. He gives us not only events but their profound effect on the sensibility, for good and ill, of a sensitive youth, as viewed in retrospect by his older self. Guidall reveals why this book and its author are so highly regarded. Y.R. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
