The Sixth Day and Other Tales by Primo Levi
A collection of 23 stories in which the author creates a strangely familiar universe, transformed by the imagination. The stories include commentary on the human condition and the effect of a technological culture on people's daily lives.
Clever, funny and ominous, these stories also celebrate Levi's belief that the human spirit- which was created on the sixth day- is a fire that cannot easily be quenchedSUNDAY TIMES Levi's relentless need to expose the dangers of our blinkered, myopic view of ourselves and nature makes for a chastening, oddly cheering experience, rich in irony, rarer for its paradoxical affection. Q MAGAZINE Ingenious, compelling tales. OBSERVER
