| 1. |  | Survival In Auschwitz from BN Publishing Price: $13.59 Customer Review:  Primo Michele Levi (July 31, 1919 - April 11, 1987) was a Jewish-Italian chemist, Holocaust survivor and author of memoirs, short stories, poems, essays and novels. He is best known for his work on the Holocaust, and in particular his account of the year he spent as a prisoner in Auschwitz, the... |

| 2. |  | The Periodic Table from Everyman's Library Price: $15.20 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;... |

| 3. |  | 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... |

Well, I think this book is worth reading, not only to see see how cruel and perverse one can get but olso how hatred can lead to unimaganable crime. Hoss writes this book from prison... |

| 5. |  | Martin Luther King, Jr. (DK Biography) from DK CHILDREN Price: $4.99 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... |

| 6. |  | If This Is a Man and The Truce from Abacus Customer Review: This is a moving, powerful pair of books about the Holocaust. The author survived Auschwitz, and chronicles the time there and then, in The Truce, the second of the books in this pair, chronicles his experiences afterwards during the journey back to his home in Italy. This book is remarkable in... |

| 7. |  | The Reawakening from Touchstone Price: $10.95 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 Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" is a good book, and obviously a very important historical document.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,"... |

| 8. |  | Commandant of Auschwitz : The Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess from Phoenix Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: 'The banality of evil 'is what comes to mind. This concept was developed by Anna Harendt at trial of criminal Nazi Eichmann in Israel in 1961 - 1962. Thus she felt that Eichmann, far from being the bloodthirsty monster we have described, is a man sadly banal, a small ambitious and zealous officer,... |

| 9. |  | If Not Now, When? (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.20 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: $7.95 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: $11.90 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. |  | 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... |

| 14. |  | 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. |  | Auschwitz Report from Verso Price: $10.81 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. |

| 16. |  | 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. |

| 17. |  | Sixth Day from Abacus Software Customer Review: this book is obviously fiction, but his style of writing so matter-of-factly makes these dreamed up stories so tangible. most of levi's work is non-fiction, autobiographical, always in first person. however, although still in first person, the sixth day is a subtle stretch from the rest of levi's... |

| 20. |  | The Search For Roots: A Personal Anthology from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher Price: $11.21 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... |

| 21. | [no image] | Survival in Auschwitz and The Reawakening: Two Memoirs from Summit Books Customer Review: Primo Levi wasn't sent to or near the gas chambers and crematoria. Instead, he was diverted into forced labor in the sub-camp of Monowitz (p. 386), some 7 km east of Auschwitz proper. Poles had to wear a large "P". German political prisoners got various privileges, such as food and clothes from... |

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... |

| 29. |  | 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... |
