Twilight - Elie Wiesel

Twilight is the haunting novel by Nobel Peace prize-winning author Elie Wiesel available as a Penguin Essential for the first time. Raphael Lipkin hears voices and talks to ghosts. Spending the summer at the Mountain Clinic a New York psychiatric hospital he is not a patient but rather a visiting professional with a secret highly personal quest. A Holocaust survivor who has painstakingly rebuilt his life he has watched horrified and helpless as it all started coming apart. He longs for Pedro the man who rescued him in postwar Poland - who became his mentor hero saviour and friend - and taught him truth from falsehood. But Pedro vanished into Stalin's gulags . . . Desperate to explain his own survival Raphael now seeks among the delusional patients the answers to the mysteries of good evil and madness. Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 in Sighet Transylvania which is now part of Romania. He was fifteen years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After the war Elie Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the distinguished French writer Francois Mauriac he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his internationally acclaimed memoir La Nuit or Night which has since been translated into more than thirty languages.
