The Black Hole of Auschwitz - Primo Levi

Descriere The Black Hole of Auschwitz - Primo Levi

A moving book that shows the care and conviction with which Primo Levi writes about the Holocaust, this work also shows the range of his interests and the skill, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity he brought to all his subjects. \n \nFrom 1955 to 1987, the year of his suicide, Primo Levi wrote a series of articles that appeared in newspapers and journals. This volume contains a selection of these writings which shows at once the range of his interests and the skill, thoughtfulness and sensitivity he brought to his subjects, whether writing from the point of view of an eye-witness of the holocaust, of an author of novels and short stories, or of a chemist. The first part of this collection brings together Levi's articles about the holocaust and the concentration camp. In With Anne Frank history spoke, Levi rails intelligently and eloquently against what he saw as the yearly assault on the veracity and moral weight of the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. The second part contains a representative selection of Levi's essays on his own status as a writer and his profession of Chemist, and the many prefaces he wrote to others' histories and novels.\n
