stories and 20 essays. It is the last book Primo Levi published in his life. It came out in the fall of 1986, a few months after <em>I sommersi e i salvati</em>, which came out in the spring of that same year.</p> </div> <div class="node-body"><p>The book is one in a series of books called "Terza Pagina" ["Page Three", the page reserved for culture and books in Italian newspapers], dedicated to anthologizing the articles of the most authoritative contributors to the Turin newspaper, <em>La Stampa</em>. Levi wrote “A Monument for Auschwitz,” his first article for <em>La Stampa</em>, on July 18 1959. He became a more regular contributor beginning with his article <em>La luna e l’uomo </em>[“The Moon and Man”] on December 27, 1968.</p> <p><div class="paragraph paragraph--type--citazione paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="brano-citazione"><p>"I hope the reader will be indulgent toward the extreme dispersion of my themes, tones, and angles of approach that he will find in this collection. My justification is: the 'pieces' are situated in an arc of time that is close to a quarter of a century, the time of my almost total fidelity to <em>La Stampa</em>: and in twenty-five years many things change, inside of us and around us. Furthermore, they are conditioned by my intrinsic libertinage, in part willed, in part due to the itinerary fate has reserved for me; I’ve drunk at various founts and breathed different airs, some salutary, others quite polluted. I’m neither sorry for this nor do I complain: 'the world is beautiful because it is varied,' quotes the protagonist of one my books, with his typical lack of originality. I beg the reader not to go in search of messages. It is a term that I detest because it distresses me greatly, for it forces on me clothes that are not mine, which in fact belong to a human type that I distrust: the prophet, the soothsayer, and the seer. I am none of these; I’m a normal man with a good memory who fell into a maelstrom and got out of it more by luck than by virtue, and who from that time on has preserved a certain curiosity about maelstroms large and small, metaphorical and actual.<br /> Primo Levi<br /> October 1986"</p> </div> <div class="riferimento-citazione"><p>Primo Levi’s Introduction to the first <em>La Stampa </em>edition, 1986.</p> </div> </div></p> </div> <br> <div class="note_fondo_pagina"></div> </div> </article> <aside> <h3 class="title-aside">Last changed</h3> <div class="link-wrap"> 25 November 2022 </div> <h3 class="title-aside">Works</h3> <div class="link-wrap"> <a href="/en/taxonomy/term/racconti-saggi" hreflang="en">Racconti e saggi</a> </div> <h3 class="title-aside">The works of Primo Levi </h3> <div class="link-wrap"><a href="/en/opere">Go to the list</a></div> <h3 class="title-aside">All the publications of the Center</h3> <div class="link-wrap"><a href="/en/pubblicazioni">Go to the list</a></div> <h3 class="title-share">Share</h3>  <div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" style="margin-top:15px"></div>  </aside> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div> </main> </div> <footer role="contentinfo">     <div class="region region-footer">     <div id="block-risorseutili" class="block block-block-content block-block-content67cbc44c-b9ab-4098-821c-20c71fb0c111"> <h2>Useful resources</h2>     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"> <p><a href="/en/link">Useful links</a><br /> <a href="http://opac.primolevi.it/ " rel="noopener" target="_blank">Opac</a><br /> <a href="https://us14.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=6512f29f346fb955efbde44cc&id=90ee25029e" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Newsletter archives </a></p> <p> </p> </div>  </div>      <div id="block-contatti" class="block block-block-content block-block-content659e4c87-714e-4d7b-a6eb-73470d38ae1e"> <h2>Contacts</h2>     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Via del Carmine, 13<br /> 10122 Torino<br /> +39 011 436 9940<br /> <a href="mailto:info@primolevi.it">info@primolevi.it</a><br /> <a href="/en/come-raggiungerci">Opening times</a></p> </div>  </div>      <div id="block-sostienici" class="block block-block-content block-block-content88d1fef3-017d-49ab-804f-5370836c7487"> <h2>Support us</h2>     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><a href="/en/sostieni-il-centro">Support us with a donation </a><br /> <a href="/en/5x1000">Support us with your 5x1000</a></p> </div>  </div>      <div id="block-bloccoyoutubefooter" class="block block-block-content block-block-content3871c656-217f-47dc-8011-1b45bf04248f">     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Follow us on</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAcmBp8a4cI-X_Cl5vuUI3w" target="_blank"><img alt="Youtube Logo" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="68e6a562-cf9d-4e52-b477-059ad41d8d64" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/16030_1.png" /></a></p></div>  </div>      <div id="block-partneritafooter" class="block block-block-content block-block-content21e1fb36-7f90-4913-943d-cc8289f90102">     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Partner of</p> </div>  <a href="https://www.polodel900.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="/themes/primolevi/images/polo900.png" width="76" alt="Polo del '900 Logo" /></a> </div>      <div id="block-realizzatoconilsostegnofooter" class="block block-block-content block-block-content15ae0185-7bbc-4b8b-a2fb-349cee70637b">     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Site created with the help of</p> </div>  <a href="http://www.fondazionecrt.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="/themes/primolevi/images/logo-fondazioneCRT.svg" alt="Fondazione CRT Logo" /></a> </div>  </div>      <div class="region region-bottom">     <div id="block-footerbottom" class="block block-block-content block-block-content2ab3bd32-241f-4b65-9b59-2ed1bb810536">     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>© <a href="/" rel="noopener">Centro Internazionale di Studi Primo Levi</a> -
