Focusing on the life and works of Primo Levi, this biography delves into his experiences as a literary witness to the Holocaust. Marco Belpoliti organizes the narrative in a mosaic format, dedicating chapters to each of Levi's books while examining their creation, themes, and influences. Key topics include chemistry, memory, and relationships with other writers. The analysis offers fresh insights into Levi's initially rejected masterpiece, If This Is a Man, and explores fundamental themes like Judaism and testimony, enriched by photographs and letters from new archives.
