5.0 out of 5 stars
Primo Levi,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: If This Is a Man (Everyman's Library Classics) (Hardcover)
The most startling thing about If This is a Man is its quiet humanity. There is no towering rage, when there certainly could have been, there is no irrational hatred, when there could have been. There are terrible things in it, to be sure, but the subject of this book is the will to survive and persevere.
It is perhaps one of the most beautifully written books I have read. Equally worthwhile is the second story, called The Truce, which is part of this book. It tells of Levi's incredible return voyage home across postwar Europe, taking a circuitous route in and around the countries bordering Russia and Germany, and finally landing in Turin. |
