«L'aube» is the novel by Elie Wiesel, published by Seuil in paperback (140 pages, in French).
Elisha, a young Holocaust survivor integrated into the Jewish resistance in Palestine, receives the order to kill a British officer held hostage at dawn. During the night he evokes the dead who judge his mission; the final face-to-face with his victim becomes a tragic dialogue about violence and justice.
Subtitled «récit», it is the second installment of the series «The Night Trilogy». The work was originally published in 1960; this edition is from the Points collection.
For readers of historical fiction about the Holocaust and classics of twentieth-century Jewish literature.
