The Roots

For all of you who think that this is a selection of texts by Levi (a kind of "Primo Levi's Reader" with a fragmentary sample of his work), it is not. This is a selection of texts (literary, scientific, etc) made by Primo Levi among those he believed to be the requiered reading for a humanistic education. Take a look at the Table of Contents and see for yourself. You don't need to have read previously any Levi book in order to enjoy this anthology, which is a masterful collage by a master thinker. It is a joyful read.
