“From the abyss of the death camps Wiesel has come as a messenger to mankind—not with a message of hate and revenge, but with one of brotherhood and atonement.”—From the citation for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize
All Rivers Run to the Sea opens with a child’s entry into hell. We see the young Elie Wiesel torn from a traditional and loving Jewish family life in a Carpathian village and dragged through the horrors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. We see him emerge a bloodless adolescent, a mute spirit, with no homeland.
At war’s end, parents and youngest sister vanished, life begins anew in a French orphanage. Wiesel recalls his struggle with his God as well as his intense sorties into the study of philosophy, the Jewish Scriptures, and the lore of the mystics. He remembers the gradual rekindling of old dreams. He is comforted by the survival of his two sisters. We see him becoming once again fully alive. And in the late 1950s, inspired to write his first book, Night, he finds at last his voice as a witness for the Holocaust’s martyrs and survivors, and as a spokesman for humanity.

What the critics say
“This is Elie Wiesel at his best, a highly revealing self-portrait of the man behind the world-famed persona.”—Herman Wouk
“A biblical-like epic of a great man who has turned genocidal tragedy into a life force for world peace. I should be required reading for membership in the human race.”—Alan M. Dershowitz
“Immensely moving [and] unforgettable, [with] the searing intensity of his novels and autobiographical tales . . . Will make you cry, yet somehow leaves you renewed, with a cautious hope for humanity’s future.”—Publishers Weekly
“Wiesel remains unequaled at bringing home the experience of horrific, nullifying disorientation that was the first step in the program of genocide known as the Final Solution.”—Daphne Merkin, The New York Times Book Review
“Part of the delight of All Rivers lies in witnessing the gradual transformation of the brokenhearted, orphaned young boy into the spirited journalist who longs to embrace the world at large, and who, in time, does.″—Rebecca Goldstein, Newsday
“Remarkable . . . Wiesel writes with poetic beauty and heart-stopping eloquence.″—Susan Miron, Miami Herald
