      Primo Levi was one of the most astonishing voices to emerge from the twentieth century: a man who was able to describe his own Auschwitz experience with an unaffected tenderness. Levi was a master storyteller but he did not write fairytales. This book features stories that are an elegy to those who stood out against the background of Auschwitz.

      Primo Levi was one of the most astonishing voices to emerge from the twentieth century: a man who survived one of the ugliest times in history, yet who was able to describe his own Auschwitz experience with an unaffected tenderness.

      Levi was a master storyteller but he did not write fairytales. These stories are an elegy to the human figures who stood out against the tragic background of Auschwitz, ''the ones in whom I had recognized the will and capacity to react, and hence a rudiment of virtue''. Each centres on an individual who - whether it be through a juggling trick, a slice of apple or a letter - discovers one of the ''bizarre, marginal moments of reprieve''.
