Book Synopsis


Trade Review

“Deeply moving and enlightening.” —Chicago Tribune (review of a previous edition)


“This collection of biographies of prophets does a masterful job of humanizing these figures. Elie Wiesel does more than inform us about their lives and supposed thoughts. He asks today’s questions in the context of the past. . . . There is no ambiguity or vagueness in Wiesel’s writing. He promises us portraits, and there is not a wasted brushstroke, not a blurred line.” —The Christian Century (review of a previous edition)
