«Si això és un home» is Primo Levi's autobiographical testimony, published by Edicions 62 in hardcover (240 pages, in Catalan).
Primo Levi recounts his deportation to Auschwitz and life in the concentration camp during World War II. The author describes the daily struggle for survival, relations between prisoners and progressive dehumanization, and offers a reflection on human dignity that leads him to bear witness to the horror he experienced.
Originally published in Italian as «Se questo è un uomo», this Catalan edition features a translation by Francesc Miravitlles and belongs to the El Balancí collection (no. 289).
Essential work for those interested in the history of the Holocaust and in the testimonies of survivors of the Nazi camps.
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.
