Book: Other People's Trades by Primo Levi, Translated by Raymond Rosenthal

Hardback, 1989. The dust cover is aged and yellowed (see pics), but otherwise this is in excellent used/vintage condition. No writing, no rips, no dog-ears. "This is clear, precise writing filled with wonder and curiosity. Trained as a chemist in Italy, Primo Levi (1919 - 1987) was arrested as a member of the anti-fascist resistance and was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, where he spent 10 months before the arrival of the Red Army. His experiences in the death camps and his subsequent careers as a chemist, author, and classicist are reflected in this volume of 43 short essays, written between 1969 and 1985. They form a fitting tribute to Levi's spirit and love of life."
