About this book

Elie Wiesel's weird book "A Beggar in Jerusalem" is set in the aftermath of the Six-Day War. The narrative centers on a Holocaust survivor who travels to Jerusalem, which has recently been reunited. He is forced to face the ghosts of his past and his connections to the present when he comes across madmen and beggars at the Western Wall, who gather there every evening. By skillfully combining myth, mystery, and paradox, Wiesel takes readers on a spiritual voyage across time that inevitably ends in Jerusalem.
