內容簡介: |
''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 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

Primo Levi was born in Turin in
1919 and trained as chemist. Arrested a member of the anti-fascist
resistance during the war, he was deported to Auschwitz. His
experiences there are described in his two classic autobiographical
works, IF THIS IS A MAN and THE TRUCE.
