Night

Night is short enough to read in an afternoon and heavy enough to stay with you for years. Elie Wiesel wrote it as a memoir of his own experience surviving Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenage boy, and the sparse, unflinching prose makes it hit harder than a longer, more detailed account might. It’s taught in schools around the world for good reason — it doesn’t try to explain the Holocaust philosophically, it just shows what it actually felt like to live through it. A book everyone should read at least once. Order your copy from thebookdot.com with delivery across Pakistan.
