| 總結: | Primo Levi is best known as the author of two important books on the Holocaust, Survival in Auschwitz (Se questo è un uomo) and The Drowned and the Saved (I sommersi e i salvati). Berel Lang's brief but important book expands our understanding of Levi as not just a Holocaust writer but a talented recorder and investigator of the human condition more broadly. The book is part of the Yale University Press “Jewish Lives” series, and Lang takes up, in his fourth chapter, what it means (for us, and what it meant for Levi during his lifetime) to consider him a Jewish writer. But much more important, Lang explores the implications of what would happen if we saw Primo Levi as more than just a Holocaust writer. |
