Yet Levi's body of work extends considerably beyond his experience as a survivor. Now, the transformation of Levi from Holocaust memoirist to one of the twentieth century's greatest writers culminates in this publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Primo Levi\u003c\/em\u003e. This magisterial collection finally gathers all of Levi's fourteen books--memoirs, essays, poetry, and fiction--into three slip-cased volumes. Thirteen of the books feature new translations, and the other is newly revised by the original translator. Nobel laureate Toni Morrison introduces Levi's writing as a \"triumph of human identity and worth over the pathology of human destruction.\" The appearance of this historic publication will occasion a major reappraisal of \"one of the most valuable writers of our time\" (Alfred Kazin).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Primo Levi\u003c\/em\u003e features all new translations of: \u003cem\u003eThe Periodic Table, The Drowned and the Saved, The Truce, Natural Histories, Flaw of Form, The Wrench, Lilith, Other People's Trades\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIf Not Now, When?\u003c\/em\u003e--as well as all of Levi's poems, essays, and other nonfiction work, some of which have never appeared before in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLevi, Primo:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePrimo Levi\u003c\/strong\u003e (1919-1987) was an Italian chemist and writer, best known for his memoirs \u003cem\u003eIf This Is a Man\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Periodic Table\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoldstein, Ann:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAnn Goldstein\u003c\/strong\u003e, the editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Primo Levi\u003c\/em\u003e and the award-winning translator of Elena Ferrante's novels, is a former editor at \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMorrison, Toni:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eToni Morrison\u003c\/strong\u003e is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50556550512914,"sku":"9780871404565","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_af62697a-9c03-4f22-be91-6d174abf7198.jpg?v=1731756470","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-complete-works-of-primo-levi-9780871404565","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
