In A Centaur in Auschwitz, Massimo Giuliani sheds new light on
Primo Levi's rational, demythologizing approach to suffering and
survival. Whether working in narrative or poetic form, Levi
grappled with the ambiguities and complexities of innocence and
guilt, triumph and loss. Giuliani presents a powerful new means to
understand Levi's thought: employing the neologism of salvaction
(conveying "salvation" through one's own "action"), Giuliani has
developed a "star of salvaction" a diagram in the shape of a star
of David, in which each of the six points leads to a strategy Levi
learned for seeking meaning, and thereby salvation, in the misery
of Auschwitz. This unique book, with its concise overview of Levi's
expression and development as a writer, reveals Primo Levi for what
he was: scientist, intellectual, Jew, and dedicated seeker of the
roots of human dignity."
