Writer Primo Levi (1919-1987), an Italian Jew, did not come to the wide attention of the English-reading audience until the last years of his life. A survivor of the Holocaust and imprisonment in Auschwitz, Levi is considered to be one of the century's most compelling voices, and The Periodic Table is his most famous book. Taking the knowledge he gained from his training as a chemist, Levi uses the elements as metaphors to create a cycle of linked, somewhat autobiographical tales, including stories of the Piedmontese Jewish community he came from, and of his response to the Holocaust.

Format:Taschenbuch
A friend of mine, recommending this book to me, said "The first chapter was kind of boring, but I kept reading, and at some point I realized that it was just ... beautiful." It is.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is a series of stories, each with an element from the periodic table as its theme. Many of the stories are from the autho's life, but a few are fictional. All are amazing. This book is not about the holocaust, it's not about the author's life as a partisan, it's a story about people and life and love and everything that makes people human. It's amazing that an author who has been through so many extraordinary things can write about his life in such a way that the rest of us can relate COMPLETELY to his story. This is simply an AMAZING book.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This was one of the ones that separated the men from the boys (so to speak)-- everyone thought the first chapter was slow, but the REAL readers kept going and those people loved it. The lame readers complained it was boring and then, guess what, it turned out that NONE of them had gotten beyond chapter 1! Well, I am not a great writer myself, but I do love well-written, gripping stories, and Periodic Table is all of that. I cried more than once, I savored many chapters and I have this book with a few others on a small shelf next to my bed so that I can read parts of it over and over again. Wonderful, special book!

Extraordinary book
I chose this for my book club to read and I was seriously disappointed that only a few people actually read it, because I think it's the best book we've done so far. Lesen Sie weiter...

Why only five stars?
This book, like all truly great books, can be viewed in many ways. A possible, rewarding one is to view it as the story of an education. Lesen Sie weiter...

The only book that explains man's passion for matter
I found this book on the shelf of a famous bookstore. It was the only copy they had. The title is intriguing, at least to me, because I am a student of chemistry. Lesen Sie weiter...

Short story gems from a brilliant writer
Frankly, the problem with most great writers is this: outside of their craft, they don't have a life. Lesen Sie weiter...

The best book I ever read.
I was a once a chemistry student, so I particularly liked this book. You will, too. The language and imagery are beautiful, the humour and pathos remarkable, the translation... Lesen Sie weiter...
