The Complete Works of Primo Levi
"In the works for sixteen years, The Complete Works of Primo Levi is the most ambitious literary translation of the twenty-first century. Primo Levi, the Italian-born chemist once described by Philip Roth as that "quicksilver little woodland creature enlivened by the forest's astute intelligence," has largely been considered a heroic figure in the annals of twentieth-century literature for If This Is a Man, his haunting account of Auschwitz.

If This Is a Man
Se questo è un uomo
Segue (vv. 5-15) una sintetica, ma cruda presentazione della condizione degli internati nei campi di sterminio, uomini o donne. Il poeta invita il lettore a meditare sulla terribile condizione disumana alla quale furono costretti coloro che il nazismo riteneva esseri destinati all’annientamento: uomini sfruttati fino all’esaurimento fisico e psicologico, obbligati ad umiliarsi e a perdere la loro dignita, sottoposti a ordini assurdi, e all’incert…

If This is a Man and The Truce
With the moral stamina and intellectual pose of a twentieth-century Titan, this slightly built, duitful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose. He was profoundly in touch with the minutest workings of the most endearing human events and with the most contempible. What has survived in Levi's writing isn't ju…

Survival in Auschwitz
The and harrowing account of Primo Levi's experience at the German concentration camp of Auschwitz and his miraculous survival; hailed by The Times Literary Supplement as a true work of art, this edition includes an exclusive conversation between the author and Philip Roth. In 1943, Primo Levi, a twenty-five-year-old chemist and citizen of Jewish race, was arrested by Italian fascists and deported from his native Turin to Auschwitz. Survival in A…
