Si esto es un hombre, libro que inaugura la trilogía que Primo Levi dedicó a los campos de exterminio, 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. En estas páginas, el austero testimonio de Levi devuelve al horror su realidad y lo hace inteligible.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Tuve la suerte de no ser deportado a Auschwitz hasta 1944, y después de que el gobierno alemán hubiera decidido, a causa de la escasez creciente de mano de obra, prolongar la media de vida de los prisioneros que iba a eliminar concediéndoles mejoras notables en el tenor de vida y suspendiendo temporalmente las matanzas dejadas a merced de particulares."

Work Description
This book describes Primo Levi's experiences in the concentration camp at Auschwitz during the Second World War. Levi, then a 25-year-old chemist, spent 10 months in Auschwitz before the camp was liberated by the Red Army. Of the 650 Italian Jews in his shipment, Levi was one of only twenty who left the camp alive. The average life expectancy of a new entry was three months. This truly amazing story offers a revealing glimpse into the realities of the Holocaust and its effects on our world. - Back cover.
