This book brings together two autobiographical works by Primo Levi, an Italian chemist of Jewish origin who was deported to Auschwitz during World War II. 'If This Is a Man' recounts the horrific living conditions in the concentration camp, the daily struggle for survival, and the loss of humanity. 'The Truce' narrates the long and chaotic journey home after the camp's liberation, through a Europe devastated by war. Together, these works offer a moving and essential testimony about the Holocaust and the resilience of the human spirit.
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.
