Neste clássico da literatura contemporânea, Primo Levi dá um testemunho pungente de uma tragédia que afetou milhões de pessoas. Considerado o mais belo livro já escrito sobre a existência massacrada dos judeus deportados, É isto um homem? Não é, no entanto, um relato carregado de ódio e vingança. Desprovidos de saúde, os judeus nos campos de extermínio dificilmente poderiam ser identificados com os homens que eram antes da tragédia. Muito menos seus algozes sem rosto, senhores de escravos, mas sem vontade própria, num campo de morte onde ela, afinal, era o menor dos males.

We are in fact convinced that no human experience is without meaning or unworthy of analysis, and that fundamental values, even if they are not positive, can be deduced from this particular world which we are describing Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz... To destroy a man is difficult, almost as difficult as to create one: it has not been easy, nor quick, but you Germans have succeeded. Here we are, docile under your gaze; from our side you have nothing more to fear; no acts of violence, no words of defiance, not even a look of judgment. Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz I believe that it was really due to Lorenzo that I am alive today; and not so much for his material aid, as for his having constantly reminded me by his presence, by his natural and plain manner of being good, that there still existed a just world outside our own, something and someone still pure and whole, not corrupt, not savage, extraneous to hatred and terror; something difficult to define, a remote possibility of good, but for which it was worth saving. The personages in these pages are not men. Their humanity is buried, or they themselves have...
"Here there is no why." Primo Levi was an Italian Jew who came to live in very troubled times. Born and raised in Turin, he was subjected to the fascist racial laws which discriminated against Jews and made finding employment very difficult; after the German occupation of Italy began, he joined the resistance movement but was quickly... . , , . , SS . , " ". First off, I must point out that I think it is very difficult to rate someone's personal and emotional account of an event in their life, and even more so when it was a tragedy like the holocaust. That being said, I of course rated the novel five stars, because it is not only a completely true account but it was also written brilliantly....
