Primo Levi narrates his captivity in Auschwitz through the camp's daily experience: arrival, work organization, relations among prisoners, and the struggle to maintain dignity. Written so the world would know what happened, it is a fundamental testimony of Holocaust literature.
First volume of the Auschwitz Trilogy, completed by The Truce and The Drowned and the Saved. The Italian original was published in 1947; this edition belongs to the Personalia collection.
Will interest readers of nonfiction, contemporary history, and survival stories.
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.
