About the author

Primo Levi

Levi's If This Is a Man (Survival in Auschwitz) is one of the most measured and morally exacting accounts of the Holocaust, written by a chemist who applied scientific observation to the worst experience the 20th century produced. His clarity and humanity are unmatched.
