Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and author of Night, a charged, deeply moving novel about the legacy of the Holocaust in todayâs troubled world and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
       Itâs 1975, and Shaltiel Feigenbergâprofessional storyteller, writer and beloved husbandâhas been taken hostage: abducted from his home in Brooklyn, blindfolded and tied to a chair in a dark basement. His captors, an Arab and an Italian, donât explain why the innocent Shaltiel has been chosen, just that his life will be bartered for the freedom of three Palestinian prisoners. As his days of waiting commence, Shaltiel resorts to what he does best, telling storiesâto himself and to the men who hold his fate in their hands.
       With beauty and sensitivity, Wiesel builds the world of Shaltielâs memories, haunted by the Holocaust and a Europe in the midst of radical change. A Communist brother, a childhood spent hiding from the Nazis in a cellar, the kindness of liberating Russian soldiers, the unrest of the 1960sâthese are the stories that unfold in Shaltielâs captivity, as the outside world breathlessly follows his disappearance and the police move toward a final confrontation with his captors.
           Impassioned, provocative and insistently humane, Hostage is both a masterly thriller and a profoundly wise meditation on the power of memory to connect us to the past and our shared need for resolution.
