"I first heard of Elie Wiesel in 1979 as a college freshman in a course on literature that I only slightly remember with the exception of one required reading. The book was Night by Elie Wiesel. I read it from beginning to end without stopping. I could not put it down. I have been an avid reader beyond my memory. I have read all of Elie Wiesel's work and followed his journey through life ever since that day. Memoirs: All Rivers Run to the Sea is bittersweet in that it takes us back to that night in which Elie Wiesel has made a vow "Never shall I forget that night ... Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, ... Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. ..." What can I say about Elie Wiesel? As an American living in a country that strives for freedom, a Christian, woman, wife, mother, sister, colleague, friend, neighbor and person in need at times; I can vow that I will never forget Elie Wiesel and the gift he has given the world through his writing and humanitarian efforts. I will continue to give a copy of "Night" as a gift within my circle of life. 'Night' is the perfect introductory book of Wiesel's for advanced high school or college freshman and will establish a format for avid and interested readers to work their way through to his Memoirs."
Kirkus, 10/01/1995 "Through it all Wiesel testifies vividly indeed to Jewish history: the birth of Israel, the Six-Day War, the capture of Jerusalem. And he ceaselessly pricks the conscience of a world that thinks it is possible to have heard "enough" about the Holocaust."
Booklist, Oct. 15 '95 Nobel laureate Wiesel is the collective consciousness of the Holocaust, the premier voice of moral rectitude concerning the treatment of Jews in the twentieth century. With an expected poignancy and deft expressiveness and a commendable avoidance of selfrighteousness, he turns now to memoir writing. . . . Journalism was an easy segue into bookwriting, and his latest one will be a source of supreme pleasure for his widespread readership. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. -- Brad Hopper
New York Times Book Review, 12/17/1995 "It is undoubtedly a sign of Mr. Wiesel's canny elusiveness that he has chosen to protect himself from too close a personal scrutiny, either his own or others'.... 'All Rivers Run to the Sea' suggests that its author prefers to leave an informed assessment of his accomplishments and character not to human judgment but to the God whose existence he has never ceased believing in." -- Daphne Merkin
New York Times "A new richness of emotional detail.... 'All Rivers' [is composed of] forceful and impassioned narratives that possess the subterranean power of parable, narratives that open out into a commentary on the world, even as they relate the particulars of Mr. Wiesel's own life." -- Michiko Kakutani
New York, 12/11/1995 "'All Rivers Run to the Sea' is, absent the little touches of perverse humanity that bring autobiographies to life, an oddly impersonal book, but it is also a book with a certain schematic logic. It tells the story of how one Jewish mystic emerged from the death camps with a vision that transformed the way we think about the Holocaust today." -- Judith Shulevitz
Philadelphia Inquirer, 12/03/1995 "Wiesel, spokesman for the departed, never claimed answers. Still, he has not stopped seeking them.... Illuminated as it is by acute memory, steeped in history, religion and mysticism, at once dripping with painful irony and shimmering with humanity, 'All Rivers Run to the Sea' is a profound treasure." -- David Lee Preston
