Eighty-two years old, facing emergency heart surgery and his own mortality, Elie Wiesel reflects back on his life. Emotions, images, faces, and questions flash through his mind. His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The gifts of marriage, children, and grandchildren that followed. In his writing, in his teaching, in his public life, has he done enough for memory and for the survivors? His ongoing questioning of God—where has it led? Is there hope for mankind? The world’s tireless ambassador of tolerance and justice gives us a luminous account of hope and despair, an exploration of the love, regrets, and abiding faith of a remarkable man. Translated from the French by Marion Wiesel Review: Awesome - Open Heart is the final book by Elie Wiesel. It is fitting that this be his las book as it sums up his life and yet calls out for you to read his other books. June 16, 2011, Elie Wiesel finds out his heart is failing him. According to his story, he doesn’t give up; but continues to fight the inevitable. While he is fighting for his life, he is also fighting to understand why. In all of his books, Elie seems to be wondering why things happen the way that they do. He just continues to worry why amid the worry about his heart. As usual, he wonders what will happen to his lovely wife and wonderful son. He lets the reader know that even though he may be going soon, the things he wonders about will still be there for the reader to continue to read about. It is a wonderful book by a fantastic man whose life has made such a difference for so many other people. He encourages us to look out for other people and to wonder about them instead of ourselves. It is a fantastic book to read. Review: Excellent as always. - Eli's Wiesel is/was and always will be a voice of heart and soul. Such a man of integrity. I only wish his hearts desire could come true and that is to never have such autraucities to happen again. However it keeps happening. When people think that their beliefs are the only true ones. Our beliefs should be more about what raises people up, as a whole. God always wants what is GOOD not power and destruction, no matter who you believe God to be. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,012,680 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #340 in Heart Disease (Books) #381 in Jewish Theology #17,659 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 434 Reviews | ## Images ![Open Heart: A Memoir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AGSMk-6sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by P***S on February 23, 2017* Open Heart is the final book by Elie Wiesel.

I only wish his hearts desire could come true and that is to never have such autraucities to happen again. However it keeps happening. When people think that their beliefs are the only true ones.

God always wants what is GOOD not power and destruction, no matter who you believe God to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Opening of a Heart *by D***G on December 5, 2012* In this slight memoir focused on his cardiac event, "Open Heart," Elie Wiesel opens his heart which opens his soul and in turn his mind to his readers and students. With touching transparency and vulnerability, Wiesel reveals himself and the deeper inner dialogue with his life. His carefully chosen words and personal reflections invoke the preacher of Ecclesiastes, the conscience of Job, and the passions of Jeremiah. Wiesel's loyal readers and students savor his existential quests in his first memoir,and his novels and plays but all the more we celebrate the rich, instructive, and edifying teaching in this manner of communicating what matters in life; a communication so accessible, so real, so tender, and so profoundly personal. His writings will continue to invite humanity into ever more purposeful striving for justice and peace, for unconditional inclusion and the radical containment of hate, but "Open Heart" has a fresh, new cadence, a fresh, new intimacy, and a deeply personal summons to choose life and blessing, gratitude and love. The wake up that came from Wiesel's cardiac event is told in such a way as to awaken us to a conscious embrace and awareness of the lives we live. Thank you and bless you, Elie Wiesel.
