Primo Levi - Short Stories & Memoirs (4 books)

PRIMO LEVI (1919 - 1987) was an Italian Jewish chemist and writer. He was the author of two novels and several collections of short stories, essays, and poems.

His best-known works include IF THIS IS A MAN [1947] (also published in the U.S. as "Survival in Auschwitz"), an account of the year he spent as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland; and his unique memoir and collection of short stories, THE PERIODIC TABLE [1975], which the Royal Institution of Great Britain named the best science book ever written.

Rounding out this collection are two posthumous short story collections, A TRANQUIL STAR [2007] and THE MAGIC PAINT [2011].
