Primo Levi's account of life as a prisoner in a concentration camp is divided into two parts. IF THIS IS A MAN describes his abduction to Poland and the twenty months he spent working in a camp in Auschwitz. THE TRUCE covers his long journey to Italy at the end of the war, through Russia and Central Europe. Levi does not raise his voice, complain, or assign blame. With his quiet, objective, and simple language, he conveys both the terror and hope of the situation with absolute clarity. Exploring themes that concern him throughout his writing - work, love, power, the nature of things, what it means to be human - he leaves the reader exhausted, joyful, and uneasy.
