Product Information

One of the most important and gifted writers of our time Italo CalviPrimo Levi was one of the most astonishing voices to emerge from the twentieth century: a man who survived one of the ugliest times in history, yet who was able to describe his own Auschwitz experience with an unaffected tenderness. Levi was a master storyteller but he did t write fairytales. These stories are an elegy to the human figures who stood out against the tragic background of Auschwitz, the ones in whom I had recognized the will and capacity to react, and hence a rudiment of virtue. Each centres on an individual who whether it be through a juggling trick, a slice of apple or a letter discovers one of the bizarre, marginal moments of reprieve.
