My review of this classic emphasizes matters not raised by previous reviewers, and is based upon the 1986 edition which combines SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ, THE REAWAKENING, and AFTERWORD...

2.The Periodic TableThe Periodic Table
from Schocken
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Like other reviewers, I sometimes found the science in this book a bit hard to follow. But that was made up for by the general loveliness of Levi's dry wit. My favorite examples-
- "a livered [solidified] paint is much more rebellious, more refractory to your will than a lion in its mad pounce;... more info

I give this book five stars because of its historical value. This work not only gives insight into the mind of the leader of perhaps the greatest death factory ever built, but also allows a clearing-up of some errors that have accreted in the decades since that horrible time.

from Vintage
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Just a note to correct the Amazon book description that states that Levi committed suicide. He did not. He fell to his death down a staircase in his apartment house.

A truly wonderful book by a great author. In this volume you get Levi's If This Is a Man, his story of his trials in one of the satellite camps of Auschwitz, and The Truce, the story of his long journey from Auschwitz back home to Turin.

6.If Not Now, When? (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)If Not Now, When? (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Setting aside its profound Jewish interest, the book is an outstanding chronicle of WWII, rich with detail concerning the hardships, the cold, the Russian-Polish landscape, the polyglot bands of homeless partisans and refugees, their ruthless tactics for survival,and the ugliness and arbitrariness... more info

7.The ReawakeningThe Reawakening
from Touchstone
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I was surprised to see so few reviews for this book on Amazon. "The Reawakening" is one of the great works of literature of the 20th century - and one of the most enjoyable. Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" is a good book, and obviously a very important historical document. But with "The Reawakening,"... more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.46

Customer Review:

That Primo Levi remains the author of perhaps the finest memoir of the Holocaust remains beyond dispute. His crisp vivid prose have helped half a century of readers imagine the unimaginable, yet Levi's work extended far beyond his memoirs of the evil he endured, but unfortunately, like... more info

9.Moments of Reprieve: A Memoir of Auschwitz (Twentieth Century Classics)Moments of Reprieve: A Memoir of Auschwitz (Twentieth Century Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $9.56

Customer Review:
This book is lovely, but it is worth pointing out that it revisits characters that Levi has written in about in his previous memoirs, and is much more satisfying as an appendix than a freestanding work. The chapters on Cesare and Lorenzo gain a great deal of depth if one has already read If This Is... more info

After Dachau was liberated, Army intelligence interviewed a woman at the camp who claimed to have been Rudolf Hoess' mistress while at Auschwitz.
