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","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151898493168,"sku":"9781631492068","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631492068_p0.jpg?v=1763672125","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631492068","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
