Blog's Meme : "WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 30 ]"

MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 30 ]

Terkait dengan tema “SCENE ON THREE” yang digagas oleh Bzee, kali ini WW-ku berkaitan dengan SCENE yang kubaca, yaitu NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. Kemarin waktu event 25 Hours TBD iseng browsing ternyata buku ini terdiri dari trilogi, nah karena suka dengan buku pertama (edisi terjemahan) maka WW-ku merupakan edisi asli satu set lengkap dari kisah ini. Meski berupa semi-autobiografi, namun Elie menulis kisah ini dari sudut pandang karakter yang ia ciptakan, untuk merangkum semua pengalaman dari orang-orang di sekelilingnya selama Holocaust. Ok, tanpa berlama-lama, inilah WW-ku dalam minggu ini : 

NIGHT by Elie Wiesel

[ book 1 of Night Trilogy ]

Preview :

Night A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary Of Anne Frank, Night awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again

DAWN by Elie Wiesel

[ book 2 of Night Trilogy ]

Preview :

Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning and death provides Dawn, Elie Wiesel's ever more timely novel, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative. Caught between the manifold horrors of the past and the troubling dilemmas of the present, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination. Dawn is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings.

DAY by Elie Wiesel

[ book 3 of Night Trilogy ]

Preview :

The publication of Day restores Elie Wiesel's original title to the novel initially published in English as The Accident and clearly establishes it as the powerful conclusion to the author's classic trilogy of Holocaust literature, which includes his memoir Night and novel Dawn. "In Night it is the 'I' who speaks," writes Wiesel. "In the other two, it is the 'I' who listens and questions."

In 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, Day 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
