**Assignment 1 the Preface of Night **
// Night //  Elie Wiesel’s book titled //Night// was published in Paris in 1958. It was an abridged, autobiographical version of //And the World Has Remained Silent.// It has been translated into eighteen different languages and is his best-known work. There are three reasons why he wrote these books. One reason why he wrote it is “not to go mad or, on the contrary, to go mad in order to understand the nature of madness” (Wiesel VII). Another reason why he wrote it was to “leave behind a legacy of words, of memories, to help prevent history from repeating itself’ (Wiesel VII). The third and final reason is “simply to preserve a record of the ordeal I endured as an adolescent” (Wiesel VII). A reason he wrote //Night// was because he was an unknown writer who was just getting started. Also, his English was far from good and with the help of a translator, was able to correct and revise a number of important details.
