Primo Levi says in the afterword of "If This Is a Man" that high school student, there was none in Italian, preferred science and that without his stay in Auschwitz, he would never have written a single line! Without pathos, always just a language, sometimes poetic, with great intelligence and sensitivity, the book recounts his life interned and those of his comrades. With the talent of a great writer: deeply felt reality, and achieve communicate his emotions, his thoughts to the reader. After this masterpiece (which was unsuccessful at the time, underline it), Primo Levi led a triple life: chemist, writer and witness to the Holocaust ... Exhausted, sometimes depressed, he kills himself by falling into a spiral 87. The commonly accepted thesis: suicide. I just found out (before writing) that suicide is anything but safe and it's probably an accident. So I want to believe him, to the end Primo Levi loved life.
