Sinossi
Paltiel, a "mute poet" and witness to history, travels from his Jewish childhood in pre-revolutionary Russia to Paris in the 1930's and Spain during its Civil War. On his journey he embraces communism only to return to Russia to be imprisoned and disillusioned. In his prison cell Paltiel writes his testament to understand his faith in a world that has been torn apart. Encompassing Europe, and the history of the twentieth-century, Elie Wiesel pays tribute to the many writers killed by Stalin as well as creating, in Paltiel, one of the great Everyman characters of contemporary literature.

Recensione
The best thing about Wiesel s novel is its ambition... It is a dark novel, a story of deep loss and the impossibility of belonging... a novel set in the graveyard of 20th century history. --The Jewish Chronicle
Ambitious... as Elie Wiesel has tried to capture in some way the changing face of Europe throughout the 20th century... Wiesel... alongside the likes of Levi is one of the strongest voices about what happened during the Holocaust. --Winston's Dad
One of the great writers of our generation. --New York Times Book Review
