ISBN: 9781438426303 / Angielski / Miękka / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Answering Auschwitz: Primo Levi's Science and Humanism After the Fall
ISBN: 9780823233588 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than twenty years ago, the Italian chemist, writer and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi fell to his death from the stairwell of his apartment building in Turin.

Many weighed in with thoughtful and sometimes provocative commentary, but the debate over his death has sometimes overshadowed the larger significance of his place as a thinker "after Auschwitz." This volume contains essays that deal directly with Levi...
