Primo Levi
Condition: Very good. Abacus edition. Clean pages and firm binding; mild shelf wear to cover edges consistent with age.
Following Mendel, a Russian Jew who escapes from a German labor camp, the story traces his odyssey across occupied Eastern Europe. Joined by fellow survivors and freedom fighters Russians, Poles, and Jews Mendels journey through forests, marshes, and the ruins of war becomes both a physical and moral pilgrimage. The novel depicts courage in extremity, the fragile endurance of hope, and the rebirth of solidarity amid the desolation of genocide.
Levi, himself a survivor of Auschwitz, invests every page with the precision of a chemist, the compassion of a witness, and the conscience of a moral philosopher. Though written decades after the war, it remains an enduring testament to resistance, endurance, and the human need for meaning.
Critical Acclaim:
Levi is a master whose hand never slips I was absurdly shaken to realize at the end that it was fiction. I knew these people, and I wanted to know more. The Times
A book that achieves many things too many to itemize yet one is left with an enormous sense of optimism and gratitude. The Listener
Levi writes of unimaginable hardship cold, hunger, terror, exile yet also of commitment, hope, and the longing for home. Financial Times
