ReviewsThe death of Primo Levi robs Italy of one of its finest writers...One of the few survivors of the Holocaust to speak of his experiences with a gentle voice
SynopsisWith 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 just his memory of the unbearable, but also, in THE PERIODIC TABLE and THE WRENCH, his delight in what made the world exquisite to him. He was himself a -magically endearing man, the most delicately forceful enchanter I've ever known- - PHILIP ROTH, 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.

If This Is a Man / The Truce by Primo Levi
For me I tried and tried to read this book. The print was small, the pages darkened with age. The writer had much to say that I wanted to read, but his writing style was too much for my aging brain. Too wordy. I say thank you for your book and I am sure it would be an awesome read to others. Anyone who survived the Holocaust and is sharing, should be given the praise they deserve FOR that sharing. We all need to know what they went thru. Just wasn't for this aging reader. God bless us all.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

a must read
Im not sure who gave 3 stars to this book. Maybe for its conditions? it absolutely cannot be for the book. This book should be read by every single american out there so that they have not a washed experience of what truly the holocaust was. I just bought 3 of them to give to friends.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
