DESCRIPTION:
His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The gifts of marriage and children and grandchildren that followed. Emotions, images, faces, and questions flash through his mind. In his writing, in his teaching, in his public life, has he done enough for memory and the survivors? His ongoing questioning of God - where has it led? Is there hope for mankind? The world's tireless ambassador of tolerance and justice has given us this luminous account of hope and despair, an exploration of the love, regrets, and abiding faith of a remarkable man.. A profoundly and unexpectedly intimate, deeply affecting summing up of his life so far, from one of the most cherished moral voices of our time.Eighty-two years old, facing emergency heart surgery and his own mortality, Elie Wiesel reflects back on his life
The Opening of a Heart In this slight memoir focused on his cardiac event, "Open Heart," Elie Wiesel opens his heart which opens his soul and in turn his mind to his readers and students. With touching transparency and vulnerability, Wiesel reveals himself and the deeper inner dialogue with his life. His carefully chosen words and personal reflections invoke the preacher of Ecclesiastes, the conscience of Job, and the passions of Jeremiah. Wiesel's loyal readers and students savor his existential quests in his first memoir,and his novels and plays but all the more we celebrate the rich, instructive, and edifying teaching in this manner of communicating w. Nancy S.L. said Touched once again.. I heard Mr. Wiesel speak in the 1980s, at the time when I was an English teacher and my students were reading Night. His words touched me and most certainly helped me process the words he'd written to assist my students as they tried to understand the devastation of the Holocaust. When I heard that Mr. Wiesel had passed, I wanted to read one of his books to pay my respects. I chose Open Heart because of its 5 star ratings, and somewhat, because of the description on Amazon. I had no idea that it was about open heart surgerythat he'd undergone that experience and shared his experience, fears, thoughts, and emotions about it.Now that. "Excellent as always." according to Linda Brown. Eli's Wiesel is/was and always will be a voice of heart and soul. Such a man of integrity. I only wish his hearts desire could come true and that is to never have such autraucities to happen again. However it keeps happening. When people think that their beliefs are the only true ones. Our beliefs should be more about what raises people up, as a whole. God always wants what is GOOD not power and destruction, no matter who you believe God to be.
