Date: September 1982 ISBN-13: 9780553226881 96pp Synopsis A young journalist steps off a curb and into the path of a speeding taxicab. Is it an accident? Or has a tormented past driven Eliezer, a survivor of the German death camps, to attempt suicide? Gravely injured, torn between choosing life and death, Eliezer relives the horrors of Auschwitz, remembers the tragedy of a child forced into prostitution by the Nazis, and puzzles over his passionate affair with a beautiful woman he cannot love. Told with the true voice of a witness, The Accident portrays one man's quest to understand the catastrophe that befell him, his family, and his people. Annotation Was an Auschwitz survivor's accident actually a suicide attempt? This is the gripping story of one man's quest to understand the catastrophe that befell him. Biography Since his unprecedented memoir Night woke up the world to the atrocities of the Holocaust in 1958, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel has dedicated his days to turning his survival story from one of horror to one of hope. From several works inspired by his experience to his insightful reflections in After the Darkness, Wiesel’s work serves to both admonish and inspire. Bookseller Inventory # 0553226886

Book Description: Bantam Books. Paperback. 0553226886 Synopsis Eliezer, a Holocaust survivor, is severely injured when he is hit by a taxi on his way to the movies. In his musings and recollections on his hospital bed it occurs to him that he was a willing victim in this accident, and this revelation changes his view of personal responsibility in frightening ways, forcing him to reevaluate other more horrible aspects of his personal history. Industry Reviews "What makes the book of universal interest, transcending its original theme, is the author's warning of the boomerang effect of hate: that no matter how valid its cause, hate must lead to self-destruction. Written in a terse, moving style, this is a rarely moving book." Sokolov "Wiesel has accomplished almost everything he intended, and the result is a work of extraordinary power." Sokolov.
