| Primo Levi - If This is a Man |
| An unassuming chemist from Turin, aged only 24, is taken from Italy to one of the Auschwitz camps. Two years later he returns home and for the rest of his life explores how it can be that man’s inhumanity to man can be so extreme.
Philip Roth has called this ‘One of the century’s truly necessary books’.
New levels of bestial behaviour require a new language. Levi is looking for words to express what is happening to him and to the men, women and children with him. But he also finds friendship, help and the best in himself and others. Written soon after his return, events and people are very fresh to him. And his imperative is to tell the story of the ‘drowned’, and not the ‘saved’ who somehow returned. You will be harrowed, yes, but also uplifted. Do not be put off by the ‘Holocaust Industry’…this is real!
