About This Item
New York: The Orion Press, 1959. Primo Levi's 'If This Is a Man' has been described as one of the most important literary works of the twentieth century. It describes the year Levi spent as a prisoner in Auschwitz, the death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. "He was himself a magically endearing man, the most delicately forceful enchanter I've ever known" (Philip Roth). The Times Literary Supplement proclaimed that "[i]t has the inevitability of the true work of art." Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best non-fiction books of the twentieth century.
Synopsis
If This Is a Man is a work of witness by the Italian author Primo Levi. It was influenced by his experiences in the concentration camp at Auschwitz during the Second World War. It can be described as a memoir or a personal narrative, but it goes beyond mere recollection by seeking to consider the human condition in all its extremes through the narrative form.
