The strength that emerged through this book and how Primo and his companions in misfortune fought to survive while their chances of survival were almost non-existent was really upsetting
Primo Levi decorates its passage text of the Divine Comedy of Dante. I could easily imagine the horror of concentration camps through this autobiography but this addition of Dante reinforces this sense of horror.
A very moving book and a real lesson in courage that can be read several times, the chapters are well sequenced.
