«Contes» is Primo Levi's collection of short stories published by Edicions 62 in paperback (640 pages, in Catalan).
Stories that build bridges between present and past, between dream and reality, and between the absurd and reason. With his characteristic lucidity, Primo Levi combines the scientific perspective with the humanist one and tinges the stories with poetry and irony, inviting reflection on civilization and the moral universe.
The volume belongs to the MOLU s.XX - Les Millors Obres collection, and the Catalan text is a translation by Teresa Muñoz.
For readers of twentieth-century short fiction and for those who wish to read Primo Levi in Catalan.
Primo Michele Levi was a Jewish Italian chemist, partisan, Holocaust survivor and writer. He was the author of several books, collections of short stories, essays, poems and one novel. His best-known works include: If This Is a Man, his account of the year he spent as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland; and The Periodic Table (1975), a collection of mostly autobiographical short stories, each named after a chemical element which plays a role in each story, which the Royal Institution named the best science book ever written.
