Auschwitz Testimonies 1945-1986

"One of the most important Italian writers."
Umberto Eco
 
"With the moral stamina and intellectual pose of a 20th century titan, this slightly built, dutiful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose."
Philip Roth
 
"The triumph of human identity and worth over the pathology of human destruction glows virtually everywhere in Levi's writing. Time and time again we are moved by his narratives of how men refuse erasure."
Toni Morrison
 
"One of the most important and gifted writers of our time."
Italo Calvino
 
"Whether as witness or imaginative artist, Levi stands high among the truly essential European writers of the past century."
Michael Dirda, Washington Post
 
"Primo Levi's poise was one of the greatest achievements in the history of the human spirit. His writing restored the honor of humanism after Auschwitz."
Leon Wieseltier
 
"Levi writes of unspeakable things with charity, clarity and objectivity."
