Com uma poesia bissexta, escrita em períodos fervorosos de criatividade, a lírica de Primo Levi atravessou diversas fases. Em todas, temas como a sobrevivência em meio às catástrofes e a desumanização se unem a um registro delicado que parece buscar a claridade, a comunhão e o amor por todos os seres vivos. Nesta antologia, preparada por Maurício Santana Dias, o leitor brasileiro conhecerá a poesia de um escritor que transformou o compromisso moral em alta literatura, e a força da memória, num verdadeiro ofício.

Primo Michele Levi (Italian: [ˈpriːmo ˈlɛːvi]) was a chemist and writer, the author of books, novels, short stories, essays, and poems. His unique 1975 work, The Periodic Table, linked to qualities of the elements, was named by the Royal Institution of Great Britain as the best science book ever written. Levi spent eleven months imprisoned at Monowitz, one of the three main camps in the Auschwitz concentration camp complex (record number: 174,517) before the camp was liberated by the Red Army on 18 January 1945. Of the 650 Italian Jews in his transport, Levi was one of only twenty who left the camps alive. The Primo Levi Center, dedicated "to studying the history and culture of Italian Jewry," was named in his honor.
