Primo Levi's Universe

Primo Levi is best known as a memoirist of Auschwitz, but he was also a scientist, fiction writer, and poet: in short, a Renaissance man.#xA0; Primo Levi's Universe offers a#xA0;multi-faceted portrait of#xA0;the heroic man who turned the concentration camp experience into beautiful yet terrifying literature. Over time, Levi developed an original world-view which he#xA0;conveyed in his writing.#xA0; Through careful readings of Levi's works, Sam Magavern finally does justice to his calm rationality, dark poetry, essential beliefs and wit. #xA0;Levi's art and life are inextricably intertwined, and this book presents them together, allowing each to shed light on the other.
