A poignant, powerful distillation of the Holocaust experience from the internationally acclaimed writer and Nobel laureate.In his first book, Night, Elie Wiesel described his concentration camp experience, but he has rarely written directly about the Holocaust since then.

A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him.
