If This Is a Man

Great writer..great man. Mans inhumanity to man. Learn and weep unless you are one of the no empaths. What is wrong with this world?

book bought for my son who tells me it is very interesting and compelling reading. the book was recommended on an article in the Daily Mail

Primo Levi is a brilliant writer and his grasp of the issues around the war and concentration camps should almost be recommended as a compulsory read.

really good read

as promised came quickly

Very good

Amazing book. Good condition at a great price.

A present fo my daughter. She says everyone should be made to read this book. Thought provoking though a distressing read at times.

What impressed me most about this book, is the almost clinical approach of Primo Levi's experience. There is much to learn and understand, if you are open, much can be applied to other conditions about human behavior over the past several decades since this tragic event occurred. Primo Levi tells of his ordeal without emotions, the insights, and wisdom he has gained in being in a concentration camp. He is a survivor because he was relatively young at the time, adapted to horrible conditions, and knew what he had to do to stay alive. Most did not, in fact 90% to 98% died, were gassed, within three months. He attributes his survival for several reasons. And he became a writer, remember he was a Phd Chemist from Turin, Italy, when he was captured, but the experience was so our whelming to him that he felt the need to write it all down and share with others his true story. It is three books in one and you will not be disappointed in reading this book from cover to cover.

The writing itself I enjoyed. The condition of the book was like new, as promised. However, the book quality, paper, etc. leaves me wanting. I thought, wrongly, that these were high quality as far as paper, etc. Library of America are MUCH better quality if you are looking for quality manufacturing. These are ok, but very overpriced.

I wrote a glowing review on this book under a different title so I won't repeat here. The most lyrical writer with cultural, psychological & social intense insights on this subject. I am reading all; his books non stop.

The elegant writing gives one an open view of humanity from the base to the sublime.

A beautifully written, harrowing, graphic account of a time of hate and depravity, of a never before known highly sophisticated ,genocide.
