Book: The Periodic Table
Jul. 16th, 2003 10:47 pmAuthor: Primo Levi
Details: (c) 1975 Giulio Einaudi; translated by Raymond Rosenthal 1984; Pub Everyman's Library 1995; ISBN 1-85715-218-2
Verdict: The Periodic Table is uplifting and educational as well as seriously uncomfortable in places
Reasons for reading it: As a well-read Jewish scientist, I can't very well not read Levi. I've been putting off reading him out of cowardice about his subject matter; I do intend to read If this is a man at some point, but not yet.
How it came into my hands: Library
