If this is a man ; The truce
Levi, Primo2014
Book
An account of time spent in Auschwitz concentration camp."With the moral stamina and intellectual pose of a twentieth-century Titan, this slightly built, dutiful, 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 ... his delight in what made the world exquisite to him."--Publisher's description.
