Forward by Francois Mauriac vii-xi
I believe that Francois Mauriac did an excellent job of preparing readers for Wiesel's disturbing subject; Mauriac provided a brief introduction to the author as a young
man; he then provided insight into the author’s choice of title for the
book; and finally he previewed several of the most troubling parts of
Wiesel’s narrative dealing with the chilling and unimaginable horrors
faced by innocent, unsuspecting children. Additionally, Mauriac raised
thought-provoking comments on the power of questions. As forwards go,
this forward effectively guides and prepares the reader without
undermining the visceral power of Wiesel’s narrative.
