"Even if I wrote on nothing else, it would never be enough, even if all the survivors did nothing but write about their experiences, it would still not be enough": First Edition of All Rivers Run to the Sea; Signed by Elie Wiesel
First edition of this deeply personal autobiography by the Nobel Laureate. Octavo, original publisher's half cloth, illustrated with 16 pages of photographs. Boldly signed by Elie Wiesel on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Archie Ferguson.
Elie Wiesel (1928–2016) was a Romanian-born Jewish-American writer, professor, political activist, and Nobel laureate whose life and work were defined by his experience as a survivor of the Holocaust and his lifelong commitment to ensuring that the crimes of the Nazi era would never be forgotten or minimized. Deported to Auschwitz in 1944 at the age of fifteen and subsequently transferred to Buchenwald, where he was liberated by American forces in April 1945, Wiesel emerged from the camps as one of the twentieth century's most essential moral witnesses - a role he would occupy for the remaining seven decades of his life. His 1960 memoir Night, originally written in Yiddish and published in French as La Nuit in 1958, stands as one of the most widely read and taught accounts of the Holocaust ever written, a work of spare, devastating testimony that has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than thirty languages. Beyond Night, Wiesel authored more than fifty books of fiction, nonfiction, and drama, and he taught for many years as University Professor and Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, with the Nobel Committee describing him as a messenger to mankind and a human being dedicated to humanity. President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust, and he received the United States Congressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and honorary degrees from universities across the world.
