About the Author
Primo Levi, born in Turin, Italy, in 1919, and trained as a chemist, was arrested during the Second World War as a member of the anti-Fascist resistance and deported to Auschwitz in 1944. His experience in the death camp and his subsequent travels through Eastern Europe were the subject of powerful memoirs, fiction and poetry. Levi died in Turin in April 1987.
Synopsis
A collection of stories centering on life and death in Auschwitz during World War II. The 15 stories each focus on a different character, a protagonist who, behind barbed wire, somehow survives, even if the virtue that allows him to survive is not always one approved of by common morality.
