Description

From Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and composer of Evening, a priced, profoundly moving book concerning the heritage of the Holocaust in today’s struggling globe and the continuing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.            It’s 1975, and Shaltiel Feigenberg—professional storyteller, writer and precious husband—has been taken hostage: kidnapped from his house in Brooklyn, blindfolded and associated with a chair in a dark cellar. His captors, an Italiand Arab, don’t clarify why the harmless Shaltiel hasbeen selected, that his life is likely to be bartered for the liberty of three Palestinian criminals. As Shaltiel hotels as to the he does best, informing herself to stories—to and for the males who maintain his destiny within their hands, his times of waiting begin.             With awareness and elegance, Wiesel develops the planet of Shaltiel’s recollections, haunted by the Holocaust and an Europe in the process of revolutionary change.
