The Periodic Tableby Primo LeviISBN 0805210415 (0-8052-1041-5)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Periodic Table'Book summary:Writer Primo Levi (1919-1987), an Italian Jew, did not come to the wide attention of the English-reading audience until the last years of his life. A survivor of the Holocaust and imprisonment in Auschwitz, Levi is considered to be one of the century's most compelling voices, and The Periodic Table is his most famous book. Springboarding from his training as a chemist, Levi uses the elements as metaphors to create a cycle of linked, somewhat autobiographical tales, including stories of the Piedmontese Jewish community he came from, and of his response to the Holocaust.

Primo Leviby Ian ThomsonISBN 0091785316 (0-09-178531-6)
Hardcover, Hutchinson

› Find signed collectible books: 'Primo Levi'Book summary:Primo Levi, author of Survival in Auschwitz and The Periodic Table, wrote books that have been called the essential works of humankind. Yet he lived an unremarkable existence, remaining until his death in the house in which he'd been born; managing a paint and varnish factory for thirty years; and tending his invalid mother to the last. Now, in a matchless account, Ian Thomson unravels the strands of a life as improbable as it was influential, the story of the most modest of men who became a universal touchstone of conscience and humanism.[via]
Drawing on exclusive access to family members and previously unseen correspondence, Thomson reconstructs the world of Levi's youth-the rhythms of Jewish life in Turin during the Mussolini years-as well as his experience in Auschwitz and difficult reintegration into postwar Italy. Thomson presents Levi in all his facets: his fondness for Louis Armstrong and fast cars, his insomnia and many near-catastrophic work accidents. Finally, he explores the controversy and isolation of Levi's later years, along with the increasing tensions in his life-between his private anguish and gift for friendship; his severe bouts of depression and passion for life and ideas; his pervasive dread and reasoned, pragmatic ethic.
Praised in Britain as "the best sort of history" and "a model of its kind," Primo Levi: A Life is certain to take its place as the standard biography and a necessary companion to the works themselves.

Survival in Auschwitzby Primo LeviISBN 0020291922 (0-02-029192-2)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Survival in Auschwitz'Book summary:Survival in Auschwitz is a mostly straightforward narrative, beginning with Primo Levi's deportation from Turin, Italy, to the concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland in 1943. Levi, then a 25-year-old chemist, spent 10 months in the camp. Even Levi's most graphic descriptions of the horrors he witnessed and endured there are marked by a restraint and wit that not only gives readers access to his experience, but confronts them with it in stark ethical and emotional terms: "[A]t dawn the barbed wire was full of children's washing hung out in the wind to dry. Nor did they forget the diapers, the toys, the cushions and the hundred other small things which mothers remember and which children always need. Would you not do the same? If you and your child were going to be killed tomorrow, would you not give him something to eat today?" --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sefarad'Book summary:From award-winning and best-selling author, an intimate look at the lives of persecuted minorities and their forced escape from the violence and irrationality that devastate our society.
Blurb in Spanish:
Cada mañana despiertas creyendo ser el mismo que la noche anterior, pero no eres una sola persona y no tienes una sola historia.Ésa es la experiencia por la que tienen que atravesar los habitantes de esta novela de novelas, inquietante y conmovedora: por una enfermedad, por un accidente, por una hermosa historia de amor, por una guerra, por una guerra y, sobre todo, por pertenecer a una minoría perseguida, casi todos ellos se ven obligados a cruzar una peligrosa frontera que los ponga a salvo de la violencia y de la irracionalidad que han asolado el siglo XX.
Vigorosa denuncia contra toda marginación, "Sefarad" es una sabia mezcla de personajes reales (Kafka, Primo Levi, Willi Münzenberg...) y personajes ficticios, de tragedias e ironías, de odios y afectos, al mismo tiempo que de géneros literarios: cada uno de los relatos entrelazados que componen esta novela enriquece y profundiza los anteriores.
Antonio Muñoz Molina nos propone una sensible aproximación al mundo de los excluidos, a su intensa capacidad de amar, con la sabiduría de una prosa apasionada que sabrá seducirnos al hablarnos de aquello en lo que no nos atrevemos a pensar. [via]
