«La tregua» is the novel by Primo Levi, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Continuation of «Si esto es un hombre», it recounts the return of a group of Italian survivors from Auschwitz after the camp's liberation. Their repatriation becomes a long, absurd journey through Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary, where rogues, bandits, nostalgics of the regime and new victims cross paths. An odyssey through a devastated Europe between war and peace, in which humanity determined to survive shows itself in all its infinite richness.
Second instalment of the Auschwitz Trilogy, written in 1963. Includes the back cover with a synopsis of the work. Campiello Prize in 1963.
For readers of testimonial and Holocaust literature who want to accompany Levi beyond the concentration camp.
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.
