LEVI, Primo If This is a Man. New York: The Orion Press. 1959.

8vo. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine; illustrated dust jacket with wraparound design; pp. [vi], 206, [ii]; offsetting caused by pastedowns, bumping to head of dust jacket spine with slight markings to front wrapper; otherwise near fine.

First US edition, later published as Survival in Auschwitz.

“Dawn came upon us like a betrayal, as if the new sun were an ally of the men who had decided to destroy us. . . . Now, in the hour of decision, we said to each other things that are not said among the living.”

The memoir of the Jewish Italian writer Primo Levi, at the time a 24 year old chemist, detailing his arrest following association with a group of anti-fascist partisans during the Second World War, and his subsequent incarceration in Auschwitz. He would remain prisoner from the beginning of 1944 until liberation in January 1945.

Historically notable for its bold clarity (as the blurb of this edition describes, it is a work composed with an "almost biblical simplicity"), and not even without moments of subtle humour, the intense emotional depth of the novel makes If This is a Man a powerful and ever enduring tribute to the resilience of humanity in the face of mass horror.

Portions of this book were supposedly composed "in haste" during his train commutes. Although his experiences in Auschwitz served as the primary impetus for his literature and constitute the central focus of his writing, Levi's oeuvre is also characterized by a considerably unique stylistic diversity. It is especially recognised that when addressing profound suffering, his work is distinct from others in its exhibition of reflective perspective despite handling unimaginable traumas.

In later life, some letters Levi would conclude with the signature, “174517”; the number tattooed on his arm while prisoner at the concentration camp.

In April 1987, Primo Levi committed suicide. “Primo Levi died at Auschwitz forty years later,” the writer Elie Wiesel was known to have announced but as James Wood instead writes in The New Yorker, "Primo Levi was a survivor who committed suicide, not a suicide who failed to survive".

Great for Dry Skin, Works Fast!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
10/10 would recommend. This is heavy duty lotion, cream, but it works for my baby in 1-2 uses if he has dry skin or a rash. It is worth the cost in my opinion, only want to put on a small amount at a time anyway it is very thick and a little goes a very long way.

It’s expensive for a reason, this stuff works! Even better than the steroids
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
It’s expensive for a reason! This stuff works, my 4 mo old has been struggling with eczema for 2 months now and we have been to the ER twice due to infections, I’ve taken everything out of my diet since he’s breastfeeding, we’ve tried every other cream and routine out there. Up until just a few days ago when we ordered Tubby Todd’s his cheeks were constantly raw and weeping. After just 3 days of use with Tubby Todd’s he is finally getting some reprieve and we are finally getting SLEEP (before we would have to hold his hands down manually all night so he wouldn’t itch himself raw) this cream is even better than the steroids, you won’t regret purchasing even at the high price point.

A solid option for managing eczema flare-ups.
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 8 Ounce
Tubby Todd Eczema Ointment is a thick, soothing balm that really helps calm irritated skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn’t have a strong scent. The texture is a bit heavy, so it takes a little work to rub in, but it stays on well and gives noticeable relief.

Miracle Cream
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
This cream has been nothing short of a miracle. Within 24 hours, my infant’s dry, itchy eczema improved dramatically, and their skin became noticeably softer and smoother. I was amazed at how quickly it worked. This is an absolute must-have for new mothers dealing with infant eczema and sensitive skin.

good for my sons severe eczema
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
i was skeptical to purchase because of the price, i didn’t want to spend that much on a product that potentially wouldn’t work. my son has severe eczema so we’ve tried loads of products including prescribed steroid/non steroid creams. Tubby Todd is the most hydrating of them all. don’t get me wrong, his skin wasn’t healed over night & his eczema isn’t “gone” but after a couple weeks of use his skin is healing & he is having less breakouts. i am so glad i gave Tubby Todd a chance.
