Primo Levi 1919–1987 was the author of a rich body of work,
including memoirs and reflections on Auschwitz, poetry, science
fiction, historical fiction and essays. In particular, his lucid
and direct accounts of his time at Auschwitz, begun immediately
after liberation in 1945 and sustained until weeks before his
suicide in 1987, has made him one of the most admired of all
Holocaust writer-survivors and one of the best guides we have for
the interrogation of that horrific event. But there is also more to
Levi than the voice of the witness. He has increasingly come to be
recognised as one of the major literary voices of the twentieth
century. This Companion brings together leading specialists on Levi
and scholars in the fields of Holocaust studies, Italian literature
and language, and literature and science, to offer a stimulating
introduction to all aspects of the work of this extraordinary
writer.
· Accessible essays by leading experts on Levi · Aimed at readers
of Levi in both English and Italian, but knowledge of Italian is
not assumed · Includes a comprehensive bibliography of Levi''s work
and its translations into English
