In 'If This Is a Man,' Primo Levi recounts his experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. This book, which inaugurates the trilogy dedicated to the Nazi extermination camps, arose from the need to bear witness to the horrors experienced, fearing that no one would believe the atrocity of the story. Levi soberly describes the dehumanization and extreme suffering, inviting reflection on the human condition and the dangers of intolerance. A moving and essential testimony to understand the history of the 20th century.
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.
