In 'If This Is a Man', Primo Levi, a survivor of the Auschwitz extermination camps, offers a moving testimony of life and survival in the hell of the Polish lagers during the final years of the Nazi occupation. Published in 1947, this work seeks to bequeath to humanity first-rate material for the study of the human soul and behavior, analyzing the dignity and abjection in man faced with extermination. Written in a vivid and unaffected prose, this book moves the reader and allows them to reflect on the greatness and miseries of human existence.
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.
