Primo Levi è stata una delle voci più sorprendenti emerse dal ventesimo secolo: un uomo sopravvissuto a uno dei periodi più brutti della storia, eppure capace di descrivere la propria esperienza ad Auschwitz con una tenerezza spontanea. Levi era un maestro nel narrare storie, ma non scriveva fiabe. Queste storie sono un'elegia alle figure umane che si stagliavano sullo sfondo tragico di Auschwitz, "quelle in cui avevo riconosciuto la volontà e la capacità di reagire, e quindi un rudimento di virtù". Ognuna è incentrata su un individuo che - sia attraverso un gioco di prestigio, una fetta di mela o una lettera - scopre uno dei "bizzarri, marginali momenti di tregua".

Primo Levi was born in Turin in 1919. The son of an educated middle-class Jewish family, he graduated with a degree in chemistry and found a job as a research chemist in Milan. In December 1943, he was arrested as part of the anti-fascist resistance and deported to Auschwitz. After the war, Levi resumed his career as a chemist, retiring only in 1975. His graphic account of his time in Auschwitz, If This Is a Man, was published in 1947 and he went on to write many other books, including If Not Now, When? and The Periodic Table, emerging not only as one of the most profound and haunting commentators on the Holocaust, but as a great writer on many twentieth-century themes. In 1987, Primo Levi died in a fall that is widely believed to have been suicide.
