Sinopsis de DROWNED & THE SAVED
Primo Levi''s devastating and classic account of what it meant to have survived the Holocaust.
Shortly after completing The Drowned and the Saved, Primo Levi committed suicide. The manner of his death was sudden, violent and unpremeditated, and there are some who argue that he kiled himself because he was tormented by guilt - guilt that he had survived the horrors of Auscwitz while others, better than he, had gone to the wall.
The Drowned and the Saved dispels the myth that Primo Levi forgave the Germans for what they did to his people. He didn''t, and couldn''t forgive. He refused, however, to indulge in what he called 'the bestial vice of hatred' which is an entirely different matter. The voice that sounds in his writing is that of a reasonable man. . . it warns and reminds us that the unimaginable can happen again. A would-be tyrant is waiting in the wings, with 'beautiful words' on his lips. The book is constantly impressing on us the need to learn from the past, to make sense of the senseless'' - Paul Bailey

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Primo Levi
Primo Levi nació en el seno de una familia judía asentada en el Piamonte. En 1941 se graduó como químico en la Universidad de Turín, una profesión que compaginaría posteriormente con su actividad literaria. Tras participar en 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. Posteriormente 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, así como la compilación de informes y recuerdos Así fue Auschwitz, la novela Si ahora no, ¿cuándo? y Yo, quien os habla, las conversaciones mantenidas con Giovanni Tesio para elaborar una biografía autorizada.
