Whether working in narrative or poetic form, Levi grappled with the ambiguities and complexities of innocence and guilt, triumph and loss. Giuliani presents a powerful new means to understand Levi's thought: employing the neologism of \u003ci\u003esalvaction\u003c\/i\u003e (conveying \"salvation\" through one's own \"action\"), Giuliani has developed a \"star of salvaction\"-a diagram in the shape of a star of David, in which each of the six points leads to a strategy Levi learned for seeking meaning, and thereby salvation, in the misery of Auschwitz. This unique book, with its concise overview of Levi's expression and development as a writer, reveals Primo Levi for what he was: scientist, intellectual, Jew, and dedicated seeker of the roots of human dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47589344215191,"sku":"9780739106631","price":10148.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780739106631.webp?v=1774968899","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-centaur-in-auschwitz-reflections-on-primo-levis-thinking-9780739106631","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
