«Se questo è un uomo» is Primo Levi's testimony of his imprisonment in Auschwitz, published by Einaudi in paperback (209 pages, in Italian).
Primo Levi narrates in the first person his deportation to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where prisoners lost their names and were reduced to a number tattooed on their arm. With sober prose, he describes life in the Lager, the struggle to survive and dehumanization, and reflects on human dignity in the face of barbarism.
First volume of the Auschwitz Trilogy, originally published in 1947. This edition includes the afterword by Cesare Segre.
Reference work for readers interested in the history of the Holocaust and in testimonies from the Second World War.
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.
