The entwined complexities and contradictions of man and writer are caught in Angier's vastly detailed and intricately layered biography.' \u003ci\u003eTheNew York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ePerhaps the most important writer to emerge from the death camps, Primo Levi spent sixty-five of his sixty-seven years in Turin, Italy, where he worked as a chemist by day and wrote at night in a study that had been his childhood bedroom. Thanks to his memoirs, which include \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz, The Reawakening,\u003c\/i\u003e and his autobiographical masterpiece \u003ci\u003eThe Periodic Table\u003c\/i\u003e, he became widely known and loved as a supremely moral man, one who had transmuted the agonies of persecution into understanding and clarity. The whole world was shocked when he died in 1987, apparently having thrown himself into the stairwell of the house in which he had been born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarole Angier spent nearly ten years writing this deeply researched, vivid, and moving biography, which illuminates the design of Levi's interior life: how he lived as a man divided, not only between chemistry and writing but also between hope and despair, and how the duty to testify released him to communicate, which was his deepest need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Compelling - and beautifully written.' \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e'Overpowering ...
