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'.
