LEVI, Primo If This is a Man. New York: The Orion Press. 1959.

8vo. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine; illustrated dust jacket with wraparound design; pp. [vi], 206, [ii]; offsetting caused by pastedowns, bumping to head of dust jacket spine with slight markings to front wrapper; otherwise near fine.

First US edition, later published as Survival in Auschwitz.

“Dawn came upon us like a betrayal, as if the new sun were an ally of the men who had decided to destroy us. . . . Now, in the hour of decision, we said to each other things that are not said among the living.”

The memoir of the Jewish Italian writer Primo Levi, at the time a 24 year old chemist, detailing his arrest following association with a group of anti-fascist partisans during the Second World War, and his subsequent incarceration in Auschwitz. He would remain prisoner from the beginning of 1944 until liberation in January 1945.

Historically notable for its bold clarity (as the blurb of this edition describes, it is a work composed with an "almost biblical simplicity"), and not even without moments of subtle humour, the intense emotional depth of the novel makes If This is a Man a powerful and ever enduring tribute to the resilience of humanity in the face of mass horror.

Portions of this book were supposedly composed "in haste" during his train commutes. Although his experiences in Auschwitz served as the primary impetus for his literature and constitute the central focus of his writing, Levi's oeuvre is also characterized by a considerably unique stylistic diversity. It is especially recognised that when addressing profound suffering, his work is distinct from others in its exhibition of reflective perspective despite handling unimaginable traumas.

In later life, some letters Levi would conclude with the signature, “174517”; the number tattooed on his arm while prisoner at the concentration camp.

In April 1987, Primo Levi committed suicide. “Primo Levi died at Auschwitz forty years later,” the writer Elie Wiesel was known to have announced but as James Wood instead writes in The New Yorker, "Primo Levi was a survivor who committed suicide, not a suicide who failed to survive".

It works well!
Style: Skin Saviors 4 Piece Set, Style: Skin Saviors 4 Piece Set
My fiancé was breaking out. His whole life he has just been cleaning his face with regular bar soap. I bought this for him after reading the ratings and I’m impressed. His face looks a lot clearer and it’s only been a week. He said he likes that it doesn’t make his face feel dry like the bar soap did and his blackheads and pores have also gotten so much better. There’s quite a difference! For the price of this, I’m impressed. This comes with the 4 products as shown and a sample of the beard oil they make as well.

Complete intro to skincare
Style: Skin Saviors 4 Piece Set
Cleanser: Gentle for daily use, but still leaves me feeling fresh and clean. No noticeable scent, easy to lather and rinse. This is my current favorite cleanser. Scrub: Too harsh for me. I feel like I’m raking it across my skin. Even compared to the Turbo salt scrub they make, this facial scrub feels harsh. I use it sparingly: maybe once a week. No noticeable scent, easy to use. I’d much rather exfoliate with the Glycolic ash mask or multi-acid peel pads they make. This product is not something I’d buy again; it’s good, but they make better exfoliators. SPF moisturizer: Feels very clean and light, and combines the moisturizer and SPF into one quick step, which is always nice. No noticeable scent and absorbs fast. I usually go with a different moisturizer with higher SPF though. Lip balm: Nice and simple formulation, moisturizes well and stays protecting for a good long time. The SPF is a must, and I have several tubes of Jack Black lip balm for this reason. The mint one that comes with this set is too strong for me, but at least the mintyness dissipates relatively quickly. All together, this is a complete skincare routine made up of good products. Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize+SPF in one step, and an SPF lip balm with a minty scent to top it all off. I’d get a different exfoliating product (Jack Black glycolic mask is my favorite). If you want a complete intro to skincare with quality products in one complete set, this is a good place to start.

Love it
Style: Skin Saviors 4 Piece Set
I got this for my fiancé who didn’t do any skincare prior to me purchasing this. I got this for him and it’s been really good, he has been using it consistently. In his words “it’s a great stepping stone for people who wanna get into skincare”. It’s got all the very basic essentials of skincare so it’s simple, quick and easy to stick to. Definitely would recommend!

Good value, great products, nice results
Started to implement a skin care routine and I am happy that I did. The face wash is nice; the scrub has enough grit to feel clean afterwards without leaving your face feeling raw. The regular wash is also nice. I use the eye cream pretty much on the top half of my face, from under eyes, up across my forehead. It has been just a couple weeks, and I am happy with the results. Face is hydrated and the bags under my eyes have been reduced. Overall, I would recommend this product if you are looking to take care of yourself a little better
