| 1. |  | Survival In Auschwitz from Touchstone Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  Primo Levi was an Italian Jew arrested for anti-Fascist resistance in 1944 and sent to the camps of Auschwitz. His short, vivid portrayal of the horrors of the Nazi camps there, the depravity of human nature and the extremes that the human psyche can endure, makes for a lasting literary... |

| 2. |  | The Drowned and the Saved from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: "The Drowned and the Saved" by Primo Levi, is different in one aspect from his earlier works dealing with his experiences in Auschwitz: in the previous books, he was still an impassioned young man, racing as it was to record his memories and experiences. For later in life, memory can become less... |

| 3. |  | Death Dealer: The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz from Da Capo Press Price: $12.89 Customer Review: This is the story about how badly the Germans hate the Jewish people. They hate them so much, that its OK to persecute them, beat them, drive them out of their homes, force them into boxcars and transport them to an extermination camp where they can be gassed and burned. Its so sick that a race of... |

| 4. |  | The Periodic Table from Schocken Price: $10.36 Customer Review:  Like other reviewers, I sometimes found the science in this book a bit hard to follow. But that was made up for by the general loveliness of Levi's dry wit. My favorite examples- - "a livered [solidified] paint is much more rebellious, more refractory to your will than a lion in its mad pounce;... |

| 5. |  | The Reawakening from Touchstone Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I was surprised to see so few reviews for this book on Amazon. "The Reawakening" is one of the great works of literature of the 20th century - and one of the most enjoyable. Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" is a good book, and obviously a very important historical document. But with "The Reawakening,"... |

| 6. |  | If This Is a Man and The Truce from Abacus Customer Review: A truly wonderful book by a great author. In this volume you get Levi's If This Is a Man, his story of his trials in one of the satellite camps of Auschwitz, and The Truce, the story of his long journey from Auschwitz back home to Turin. In the "Afterword" included with this edition (Abacus edition... |

| 7. |  | Commandant of Auschwitz : The Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess from Phoenix Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  After Dachau was liberated, Army intelligence interviewed a woman at the camp who claimed to have been Rudolf Hoess' mistress while at Auschwitz. What details they could check were confirmed, and her interview became part of a Seventh Army report issued a few weeks later, a report that has been... |

| 9. |  | If Not Now, When? (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.25 Customer Review: Setting aside its profound Jewish interest, the book is an outstanding chronicle of WWII, rich with detail concerning the hardships, the cold, the Russian-Polish landscape, the polyglot bands of homeless partisans and refugees, their ruthless tactics for survival,and the ugliness and arbitrariness... |

| 10. |  | A Tranquil Star: Stories from W. W. Norton Price: $9.55 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... |

| 12. |  | The Monkey's Wrench (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I finished this book and read it all the way through again less than a month later. There are lots of things to like about it. Mainly, though, I like it because it conveys a sense of joy in work, in writing, in the less spectacular aspects of life that can be as much a source of happiness as can the... |

| 13. |  | Collected Poems: New Edition (Poetry) from Faber & Faber Customer Review: The book comprises the former editions 'Shema' and 'At an Uncertain Hour' as well as eighteen previously uncollected poems. 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... |

| 15. |  | Moments of Reprieve: A Memoir of Auschwitz (Twentieth Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.16 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... |

| 18. |  | The Black Hole of Auschwitz from Polity Price: $19.71 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... |

| 19. |  | Auschwitz Report from Verso Price: $10.98 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. |

| 21. |  | 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... |

| 22. |  | The Voice of Memory: Interviews, 1961-1987 from New Press Price: $17.95 Customer Review: The editors point out that talking - giving interviews, speaking in schools, etc. - was almost a third career for Levi, after his work in SIVA and as a writer. The interviews included in this collection show what a good talker he was. Most important, perhaps, there is a good deal here that does... |

| 23. |  | The Mirror Maker: Stories and Essays from Schocken Price: $15.00 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. |
