| 1. |  | Survival In Auschwitz from Classic House Books Price: $5.89 Customer Review:  For historians who represent the past, and for authors such as Mr. Levi, the greatest fear about history is society forgetting integral parts of its existence. I won't forget it. His story is significant so please read this book. First, my words bow to the author with the deepest respect.... |

| 2. |  | Death Dealer: The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz from Da Capo Press Price: $10.86 Customer Review:  I looked forward to reading this book immensely, and I was disappointed. I highly recommend to read the following "CENSORED" books: 1) "THE HOAX OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY" by Arthur R. Butz. 2) "NOT GUILTY AT NUREMBERG" by Carlos W. Porter. 3) "FLASH POINT, Kristallnacht... |

| 3. | [no image] | The Periodic Table from Schocken Books Price: $13.21 Customer Review: Unique and magical, a chemist's life, each chapter centered on one element and its relationship to the author and those around him. Mercury, Lead and Carbon are imaginary, the rest autobiographical. My favorite chapter is the story of the chemists at lunch, and the slice of onion in the linseed oil.... |

| 4. |  | The Drowned and the Saved from Vintage Price: $7.74 Customer Review: In his final book, Primo Levi returns to the Lagers and the occupation to deliver a series of ruminations on life, love, hardship, pain, brutality, and the essential mystery of living. Thoughtful, humane and exceedingly intelligent, Levi looks back, considers the fate of friends, foes, nations,... |

| 5. |  | Gandhi (DK Biography) from DK CHILDREN Price: $3.04 Customer Review: I purchased the Gandhi DK biography and was really surpised. DK is well known for their complex layouts with numerous pictures, drawings, and outtakes. They've done an excellent job with this biography providing frames that discuss historical and religious aspects, such as Hinduism, that are... |

| 6. |  | If This Is a Man and The Truce from Abacus Price: $10.06 Customer Review: This book grabs you from the moment you start to read. It is so sad that this time in history occurred & that human's were treated in this fashion. It is almost unbelievable. It is so sad for me to read these books but I find it so educational to hear it from someone who withstood these horrors... |

| 7. |  | Martin Luther King, Jr. (DK Biography) from DK CHILDREN Price: $0.43 Customer Review: This is an extraordinary book, sharing the human struggles for freedom from oppression, details of "how" to proceed in order for positive change to prevail, and cites incredible examples to teach our children until humanity is viewed equally, rather than judged unethically. This is a book that... |

| 8. |  | If Not Now, When? (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $7.95 Customer Review:  This review, in correspondence with the paucity of thoughts and emotions evoked by it, shall be correspondingly brief. Levi based this book, his only novel, on true accounts - listed in the bibliography - of Jewish partisan resistance during World War II. I've no doubt that it is very true to life.... |

| 9. |  | The Reawakening from Touchstone Price: $6.75 Customer Review: This work tends to be overshadowed by Levi's earlier Survival in Auschwitz even though this is a very important book as well. Too often when people study WWII they tend to stop their research at the end of the war in 45. The problem with this is that the war is really only one chapter in the story.... |

| 10. |  | Moments of Reprieve: A Memoir of Auschwitz (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin) from Penguin Classics Price: $6.55 Customer Review:  This book is lovely, but it is worth pointing out that it revisits characters that Levi has written in about in his previous memoirs, and is much more satisfying as an appendix than a freestanding work. The chapters on Cesare and Lorenzo gain a great deal of depth if one has already read If This Is... |

| 12. |  | A Tranquil Star: Stories from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $0.74 Customer Review: That Primo Levi remains the author of perhaps the finest memoir of the Holocaust remains beyond dispute. His crisp vivid prose have helped half a century of readers imagine the unimaginable, yet Levi's work extended far beyond his memoirs of the evil he endured, but unfortunately, like... |

| 13. |  | The Monkey's Wrench (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin) from Penguin Classics Price: $6.95 Customer Review: Primo Levi forges a stunningly eloquent creative execution that reveals the joys of living, of work, of responsibilities and not least of storytelling. The book is consistently verging on the comic at every turn shunning the tragic buoyancy of the pathos that life imposes on her victims. but here... |

| 14. |  | Other People's Trades (Abacus Books) from Abacus Customer Review: It is really unfortunate that this book is out of print now, it deserves to be reissued and widely read. Those who know of Primo Levi only know, for the most part, that he was a partisan, was a survivior of Auschwitz, a chemist, and died, a likely suicide. All of these are true. However, there is... |

| 15. |  | The Mirror Maker: Stories and Essays from Schocken Price: $6.90 Customer Review: hilariously insightful; primo levi doesn't usually strike across as a fantasy writer, nonetheless, his un-apologetic personality comes through these intricate stories, written to reflect various avenue in the nature of human beings. |

| 16. |  | If This is a Man (Everyman's Library classics) from Everyman's Library Customer Review: 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... |

| 18. |  | The Black Hole of Auschwitz from Polity Price: $16.12 Customer Review: I assume that this book is a translation of Levi's "L'asimmetria e la vita: Articoli e saggi 1955-1987," published in Italian in 2002. I have not checked out the English translation, but the Italian original is a wonderful book and a great introductio to Levi. I do want to respond to "Old... |

| 22. |  | Auschwitz Report from Verso Price: $6.75 Customer Review: As you may already know, Primo Levi on the Holocaust can be seriously depressing. The brief Auschwitz Report is an uemotional report of some of the events and practices Levi witnessed there. Perhaps the lack of obvious emotion brings our horror into sharp relief. |

Dee, Publisher Price: $2.00 Customer Review: For all of you who think that this is a selection of texts by Levi (a kind of "Primo Levi's Reader" with a fragmentary sample of his work), it is not. This is a selection of texts (literary, scientific, etc) made by Primo Levi among those he believed to be the requiered reading for a humanistic... |

The poems combine a sometimes distanced stance with a very intimate and poignant emotion. Levi manages to capture a sense of the futility of life in the face of evil; the fact... |
