From Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and author of Night time, a priced, deeply moving novel about the legacy of the Holocaust in the current stressed world and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian turmoil. It's 1975, and Shaltiel Feigenberg - professional storyteller, copy writer and beloved man - has been used hostage: abducted from his home in Brooklyn, blindfolded, and linked with a couch in a dark basement. His captors, an Arab and an Italian, don't explain why the innocent Shaltiel has been chosen, that his life will be bartered for the liberty of three Palestinian prisoners. As his days of longing commence, Shaltiel resorts to what he will best, telling experiences - to himself and to the men who hold his destiny in their hands. With beauty and level of sensitivity, Wiesel creates the world of Shaltiel's memory, haunted by the Holocaust and a European countries amid radical change. A Communist sibling, a childhood put in covering from the Nazis in a cellar, the kindness of liberating Russian military, the unrest of the 1960s - these are the experiences that unfold in Shaltiel's captivity, as the exterior world breathlessly follows his disappearance and the authorities move toward your final confrontation along with his captors. Impassioned, provocative and insistently humane, Hostage is both a masterly thriller and a profoundly wise meditation on the energy of recollection to hook up us to days gone by and our shared need for image resolution.
