From 1955 to 1987, the year of his suicide, Primo Levi wrote a series of articles that appeared in newspapers and journals. This volume contains a selection of these writings which shows at once the range of his interests and the skill, thoughtfulness and sensitivity he brought to his subjects, whether writing from the point of view of an eye-witness of the holocaust, of an author of novels and short stories, or of a chemist. The first part of this collection brings together Levi's articles about the holocaust and the concentration camp. In With Anne Frank history spoke, Levi rails intelligently and eloquently against what he saw as the yearly assault on the veracity and moral weight of the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. The second part contains a representative selection of Levi's essays on his own status as a writer and his profession of Chemist, and the many prefaces he wrote to others' histories and novels.

Primo Levi (1919-87) was born and lived his entire life in or near Turin, with the exception of the years 1944-45, when he was captured as an anti-Fascist partisan, deported to Auschwitz, and then released into war-torn Europe. He was the author of such acclaimed works as If This a Man, The Periodic Table and The Drowned and the Saved.

Marco Belpoliti is the author of L'occhio di Calvino and has edited the complete works of Primo Levi for Nuova Universale Einaudi.
