Collected Poems by Primo Levi
In 1944 Primo Levi was sent to Buna-Monowitz, a subsidiary of Auschwitz. His prose accounts of this time are now internationally regarded as classics. Yet for many of his readers, this will be the first opportunity to encounter Levi's poetic treatment of these appalling events and their painful psychological aftermath. His two books of poetry, "Shema" and "Ad Ora Incerta", are collected in this book.
Primo Levi (1919-87) was born in Turin and worked as an industrial chemist until 1943, when he was captured as a partisan and sent to Auschwitz. The memoirs and essays that followed, If This Is a Man, The Truce and The Drowned and the Saved, were reflections upon his experience as a prisoner and a survivor. A later autobiography, The Periodic Table, as well as several short stories and a novel, further established his literary reputation. His two books of poetry, Shema and Ad ora incerta, were released after his death as Collected Poems.
