This book is the fruit of twenty years of research by the curator of the Works of Primo Levi. It is both a book and a universe, and the universe is that of Primo Levi: his tormented life, his story as a writer and an intellectual, but especially it is the story of his work which is multi faceted, complex and extremely rich in themes, suggestions and references.
This book is a mosaic, in which each work by Primo Levi gives a name to a chapter: but in addition to the story of the composition, the imagination, the publication and the literary influences of each book, the author delves deeply into the contents, the imaginary and the themes, with brief sub-paragraphs which can either be read individually like digressions, or as a whole.
This is an unconventional essay, enriched by ten photographs of great visual impact and by unedited epistolary material; it is a piece of work which pays tribute to an author’s life, his works and his death which marked the 20th Century.
