Synopsis "The Mirror Maker: Stories and Essays"

With the publication of The Periodic Tableon 1984, Primo Levi became one of America's most beloved writers. This new collection of his stories and essays reveals the full imaginative range of this great Italian writer. Most of the stories are science fiction and fantasy, combining Levi's love for science with his keen perception of human nature. The essays, originally written for the Italian newspaper La Stampa, cover a broad range of his interests, from art and literature to politics and current affairs. Levi's quick wit and humanity shine through in these gemlike pieces.

Nació en el seno de una familia judía asentada en el Piamonte. En 1941 se graduó como químico en la Universidad de Turín, una profesión que compaginaría posteriormente con su actividad literaria. Tras participar en la resistencia del norte de Italia, fue capturado y deportado al campo de concentración de Auschwitz. Después de la liberación del campo, en 1945, y de un azaroso periplo por el este de Europa, Levi regresó a Turín, donde publicó su primer testimonio sobre los campos de exterminio nazis, Si esto es un hombre (1947), libro fundacional de la literatura concentracionaria.

Posteriormente vieron la luz La tregua (1963) y Los hundidos y los salvados (1986), dos títulos imprescindibles que completan la Trilogía de Auschwitz. Entre sus obras destacan también sus cinco volúmenes de cuentos: Historias naturales, Defecto de forma, El sistema periódico, Lilít y otros relatos y Última Navidad de guerra.
