In \u003ci\u003eNight \u003c\/i\u003eit is the 'I' who speaks, writes Wiesel. In the other two, it is the 'I' who listens and questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn its opening paragraphs, a successful journalist and Holocaust survivor steps off a New York City curb and into the path of an oncoming taxi. Consequently, most of Wiesel's masterful portrayal of one man's exploration of the historical tragedy that befell him, his family, and his people transpires in the thoughts, daydreams, and memories of the novel's narrator. Torn between choosing life or death, \u003ci\u003eDay\u003c\/i\u003e again and again returns to the guiding questions that inform Wiesel's trilogy: the meaning and worth of surviving the annihilation of a race, the effects of the Holocaust upon the modern character of the Jewish people, and the loss of one's religious faith in the face of mass murder and human extermination.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElie Wiesel\u003c\/b\u003e (1928-2016) is the author of more than fifty books, including \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e, his harrowing account of his experiences in Nazi concentration camps.
