Lo que se puede aprender sobre el ser humano y sobre la historia de Europa en el siglo XX en los tres volúmenes de la gran trilogía memorial de Primo Levi es terrible y también aleccionador, y honradamente no creo que sea posible tener una conciencia política cabal sin haberlos leído, ni una idea de la literatura que no incluya el ejemplo de esa manera de escribir . Antonio Muñoz Molina
Si esto es un hombre, libro que inaugura la trilogía que Primo Levi dedicó a los campos de exterminio nazis, surgió en la imaginación de su autor durante los días de horror en Auschwitz, cuando la principal preocupación de los prisioneros era que, de sobrevivir, nadie creería la atrocidad de la historia vivida.
Los campos de concentración y exterminio, más que resguardados por las alambradas y los guardias, lo estuvieron por su propia monstruosidad, que los hacía inconcebibles.
Es la sobriedad del testimonio de Primo Levi, una víctima que no grita pero que arranca el grito de la garganta de su lector, lo que devuelve al horror su realidad y lo hace inteligible como una siniestra señal de peligro. Un libro conmovedor de un hombre con una indestructible fe en la razón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"What can be learned about humanity and about the history of Europe in the 20th century from Primo Levi's great memorial trilogy is both terrible and instructive, and I honestly don't believe it is possible to have a complete political conscience without having read them, nor an idea of literature that does not include the example of that way of writing." Antonio Muñoz Molina
Survival in Auschwitz, the book that opens the trilogy Primo Levi dedicated to the Nazi extermination camps, was conceived during his days of horror in Auschwitz, when the prisoners' greatest fear was that, if they survived, no one would believe the atrocity they had lived through.
The concentration and extermination camps, more than being guarded by fences and soldiers, were protected by their own monstrosity, which made them inconceivable.
It is the sobriety of Primo Levi's testimony--a victim who does not shout but forces a cry from the reader's throat--that restores horror to its reality and makes it intelligible as a sinister warning. A moving book by a man with an indestructible faith in reason.
Primo Levi nació en el seno de una familia judía asentada en el Piamonte y se graduó como químico en la Universidad de Turín, profesión que compaginaría posteriormente con su actividad literaria. Por su colaboración con la resistencia del norte de Italia fue capturado y deportado al campo de concentración de Auschwitz. Después de la liberación del campo, en 1945, y de un azaroso periplo por el este de Europa, Levi regresó a Turín, donde publicó su primer testimonio sobre los campos de exterminio nazis, Si esto es un hombre (1947), libro fundacional de la literatura concentracionaria. Más tarde verían la luz La tregua (1963) y Los hundidos y los salvados (1986), dos títulos imprescindibles que completan la Trilogía de Auschwitz. Entre sus obras destacan también sus cinco volúmenes de cuentos: Historias naturales, Defecto de forma, El sistema periódico, Lilít y otros relatos y Última Navidad de guerra.
Primo Levi was born into a Jewish family in Piedmont and graduated as a chemist from the University of Turin, a profession he later combined with his literary activity. For his collaboration with the resistance in northern Italy, he was captured and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. After the camp's liberation in 1945 and a hazardous journey through Eastern Europe, Levi returned to Turin, where he published his first testimony about the Nazi extermination camps, If This Is a Man (1947), a foundational work of Holocaust literature. Later came The Truce (1963) and The Drowned and the Saved (1986), two essential titles that complete the Auschwitz Trilogy. His other works also include five volumes of short stories: Natural Histories, Flaw of Form, The Periodic Table, Lilith and Other Stories, and The Last Christmas of War.
