Im Jahr 1958 reist der italienische Autor Carlo Levi nach Deutschland. Von München bis Berlin sieht er wundersam wiederaufgebaute Städte – und dahinter das Schweigen, die Verdrängungen und die Verwüstungen der Vergangenheit. Er lässt sich durch Münchner Nachtlokale treiben und spricht mit schlesischen Vertriebenen, die in den Baracken des KZ Dachau wohnen. Von Augsburg über Ulm bis Tübingen begegnet er der deutschen Geschichte seit dem Mittelalter und versucht sie mit den jüngsten Verbrechen in Zusammenhang zu bringen.

"La nostra lingua manca di parole per esprimere questa offesa, la demolizione di un uomo". Con ostinazione e pacatezza, Primo Levi non ha mai smesso di cercare le parole per raccontare l'atrocità della deportazione e del campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, in cui venne internato dal febbraio 1944 al 27 gennaio 1945. Parole di testimonianza sconvolgente e di grande potenza narrativa che vengono qui accolte e restituite ad alta voce da Roberto Saviano.

In If This Is a Man Primo Levi describes his deportation to Poland and his 20 months in Auschwitz. In The Truce he describes his long journey to Italy at the end of the war through Russia and Central Europe. 'What has survived in Levi's writing isn't just his memory of the unbearable, but also... his delight in what made the world exquisite to him. He was himself a magically endearing man, the most delicately forceful enchanter I've ever known.' (Philip Roth)

Si esto es un hombre, libro que inaugura la trilogía que Primo Levi dedicó a los campos de exterminio nazis, 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. Los campos de concentración y exterminio, más que resguardados por las alambradas y los guardias, lo estuvieron por su propia monstruosidad, que los hacía inconcebibles.

How did descendants of Viking marauders came to dominate Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East? It is a tale of ambitious adventures and fierce freebooters, of fortunes made and fortunes lost. The Normans made their influence felt across all of western Europe and the Mediterranean, from the British Isles to North Africa, and Lisbon to the Holy Land. In Empires of the Normans we discover how they combined military might and political savvy with deeply held religious beliefs and a profound sense of their own destiny.

"La tregua" è il racconto del ritorno di Primo Levi, il seguito di "Se questo è un uomo", che racconta le esperienze dell'autore durante il lungo viaggio attraverso Russia e Europa dell'Est per tornare alla sua Torino. Un viaggio assurdo, fatto di incontri con persone di civiltà e lingue diverse ma tutte vittime della stessa guerra. "Ci sono voluti anni per capire che quello che veniva etichettato come un testimone era uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento non soltanto italiano: cioè che era il migliore dei testimoni proprio perché grande scrittore."

"È avvenuto, quindi può accadere di nuovo: questo è il nocciolo di quanto abbiamo da dire." In otto, densi capitoli Primo Levi torna sull'esperienza dei Lager nazisti per leggerla non come un fatto conchiuso, un incidente della Storia, ma come una vicenda esemplare attraverso cui è possibile capire fin dove può giungere l'uomo nel ruolo del carnefice e in quello della vittima. Opera altissima sulla natura del male e sulla natura dell'uomo, "I sommersi e i salvati" rappresenta un contributo importante alla fondazione di una nuova, vigile coscienza critica.

Il lager nazista è l'emblema più tragico del secolo appena finito; l'esperienza che più costringe noi contemporanei, e soprattutto noi europei, a riflettere sugli aspetti bui della condizione umana, sul male e le sue radici. In questa conversazione - terminata pochi mesi prima della morte di Levi - Ferdinando Camon e l'autore di Se questo è un uomo affrontano l'argomento in tutta la sua vastità, ciascuno alla luce delle proprie convinzioni e della propria formazione.

Expect soulful tales from the chassidic masters, practical avodah you ...

When he woke up on the morning of October 7, 2023 to the sounds of rocket sirens over Jerusalem and later saw the devastation of Gaza in response, the grief and sadness that engulfed him—and so many others—compelled him to ask: how can we find a way forward?

Which is exactly what this book does.
