Synopsis
"One of the most important and gifted writers of our time" --Italo Calvino
In the final days of World War II, a courageous band of Jewish partisans makes its way from Russia to Italy, moving toward the ultimate goal of Palestine. Based on a true story, If Not Now, When? chronicles their adventures as they wage a personal war of revenge against the Nazis: blowing up trains, rescuing the last victims of concentration camps, scoring victories in the face of unspeakable devastation. Primo Levi captures the landscape and the people of Eastern Europe in vivid detail, depicting as well the terrible bleakness of war-ridden Europe. But finally, what he gives us is a tribute to the strength and ingenuity of the human spirit."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
This book achieves many things - too many, really, to itemise ... yet one is left with an enormous sense of optimism and gratitude to the author (LISTENER)
Levi is a master whose hand never slips... I was convinced by every detail, and absurdly shaken to realise at the end that it was indeed fiction, however well grounded in fact. I knew these people, and I wanted to know more (THE TIMES)
Levi writes of unimaginable hardships ... and of exhilaration... (FINANCIAL TIMES)
A novel full of horrors, but wonderfully uplifting and optimistic in its tribute to the human spirit. (SUNDAY TIMES)
