why buy?
This book is a classic, and it's also insane. I will tell you why. It was written by the author after surviving the Nazi concentration camps (outrageous story, you have to read it) and then explaining with words how he interpreted his experience and how such an experience gave meaning to his life -- and how any experience can be meaningful, even if it's as terrible as his. The story of his life after is also amazing, so once you finish this book, you should read the author's wikipedia article.
