| Synopsis | |
| 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. Alcohol. Lithium. Buddhist chanting.To quiet the voices in her mind, Sylvia Harris tried all of theabove. At times, her manic behavior led her to dress up as a cowgirl and show off her rope skills in the middle of a quaint Northern California village. At its worst, it led her to look for love in all the wrong places and create a family she had difficulty caring for. While she occasionally found temporary relief, darkness always followed. At the nadir of her twenty-year battle with bipolar depression, Harris found salvation in the most unlikely of places–Cardinal Farm, an equine ranch outside Orlando, Florida.While Harris had always been drawn to animals, she had no idea of the healing power of working with horses. And while she still experienced raging highs and destabilizing lows, eventually, through grooming and racing horses, she was able to find stability. With an unflinching eye toward her weaknesses and the pain her decisions have inflicted upon others, Harris examines the ravaging power of her bipolar behavior and the magical power of horses. | |
