«La tregua» is the autobiographical account by Primo Levi, published by Quinteto in paperback (348 pages, in Spanish).
After the liberation of Auschwitz, Italian survivors begin an absurd and tortuous journey across half of Europe, passing through Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary. The work portrays postwar Europe with its black markets, Red Army barracks and a varied gallery of characters, from rogues to nostalgics of the fallen regime, in their effort to return home.
It is the second installment of Primo Levi's memorial trilogy, the continuation of «Si esto es un hombre».
A work for readers interested in historical memory and Holocaust testimonies.
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.
