This volume contains two of Primo Levi's most powerful works: 'If This Is a Man' and 'The Truce'. In the first, Levi provides a haunting, systematic account of his survival in Auschwitz, reflecting on the nature of humanity under extreme suffering. The second part follows his journey back to Italy after the liberation, capturing the strange, liminal period of transition from the hell of the camps back to civilization.
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.
