Primo Levi's devastating and classic account of what it meant to have survived the Holocaust.
Levi writes of unspeakable things with charity, clarity and objectivity
Not a word he writes should be missed
One of the most devastating masterworks of our era
Primo Levi was born in Turin in 1919 and trained as chemist. Arrested a member of the anti-fascist resistance during the war, he was deported to Auschwitz. His experiences there are described in his two classic autobiographical works, If This is a Man and The Truce.
