Ergebnis für "Levi" in Biografien & Erinnerungen

Februar 1944 bis Januar 1945: Primo Levi beschreibt das Jahr, das er in Auschwitz verbracht hat. Es ist eines der eindrücklichsten Zeugnisse des Holocaust. Durch Levis kühlen Blick des Naturwissenschaftlers auf das Vernichtungslager tritt der alltägliche Horror umso deutlicher hervor. Er schildert, wie der Kampf um das Überleben zum einzigen Ziel eines jeden Tages wurde und wie jeder Einzelne immer wieder auf dieselben Fragen zurückgeworfen wurde.

Als Michael Frank die heute hundertjährige Stella Levi zufällig kennenlernt, nimmt eine große Geschichte ihren Anfang. Sie lädt ihn in ihr New Yorker Apartment ein, und bald wird aus den Besuchen ein Ritual: An hundert Sams­tagen erzählt Levi dem Schriftsteller ihr Leben. Gemeinsam suchen und erkunden die beiden eine fast märchenhafte, verlorene Welt. Levi, geboren 1923, wuchs auf im jüdischen Viertel La Juderia auf der Mittelmeerinsel Rhodos - eine Kindheit und Jugend zwischen sephardischer Tradition und Moderne, inmitten einer Vielfalt von Kulturen und Sprachen zwischen Orient und Okzident.

Scritta tra il 1943 e il 1944, durante la sua militanza nel Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale, viene pubblicata nel 1945, a guerra ormai conclusa...

"La nostra lingua manca di parole per esprimere questa offesa, la demolizione di un uomo". Con ostinazione e pacatezza, Primo Levi non ha mai smesso di cercare le parole per raccontare l'atrocità della deportazione e del campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, in cui venne internato dal febbraio 1944 al 27 gennaio 1945. Parole di testimonianza sconvolgente e di grande potenza narrativa che vengono qui accolte e restituite ad alta voce da Roberto Saviano.

Radical Love is the debut memoir from actor Zachary Levi (Shazam!, American Underdog, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Chuck), which shares his emotional journey through a lifetime of crippling anxiety and depression to find joy, gratitude, and ultimate purpose.

In If This Is a Man Primo Levi describes his deportation to Poland and his 20 months in Auschwitz. In The Truce he describes his long journey to Italy at the end of the war through Russia and Central Europe. 'What has survived in Levi's writing isn't just his memory of the unbearable, but also... his delight in what made the world exquisite to him. He was himself a magically endearing man, the most delicately forceful enchanter I've ever known.' (Philip Roth)

"La tregua" è il racconto del ritorno di Primo Levi, il seguito di "Se questo è un uomo", che racconta le esperienze dell'autore durante il lungo viaggio attraverso Russia e Europa dell'Est per tornare alla sua Torino. Un viaggio assurdo, fatto di incontri con persone di civiltà e lingue diverse ma tutte vittime della stessa guerra. "Ci sono voluti anni per capire che quello che veniva etichettato come un testimone era uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento non soltanto italiano: cioè che era il migliore dei testimoni proprio perché grande scrittore."

Levi Benkert was playing with his children in the park when he received an urgent phone call from a friend asking him to drop everything and fly to Ethiopia to help organize a rescue orphanage for children destined to be murdered as part of a tribal superstition known as "mingi". In tribal culture, children and infants with even the slightest defect are considered "cursed" and are killed by their own parents, who fear allowing the children to live will cause bad luck to descend on the village. Moved by his friend's story, Levi packed his bags and left.

L'autobiografia, raccontata in prima persona, di una delle più importanti e preziose personalità scientifiche dello scorso secolo. Una vita che si muove tra le minacce della storia - le due guerre mondiali e le leggi razziali - i limiti culturali di una società che discrimina ancora fortemente la donna e un modo di concepire la scienza come ricerca continua, processo evolutivo di idee e approcci, scoperta.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Primo Levi, vingt-quatre ans, juif, lutte aux côtés des maquisards antifascistes du Piémont. Capturé en 1943, il se retrouve peu après à Auschwitz, où il demeurera plus d'un an avant d'être libéré par l'armée russe en janvier 1945. Au camp, il observe tout. Il se souviendra de tout, racontera tout : la promiscuité des blocks-dortoirs, les camarades qu'on y découvre à l'aube, morts de froid et de faim ; les humiliations et le travail quotidiens, sous les coups de trique des kapos.

With nearly a century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never before spoken in detail about her past. Then she met Michael Frank. He came to her Greenwich Village apartment one Saturday afternoon to ask her a question about the Juderia, the neighborhood in Rhodes where she’d grown up in a Jewish community that had thrived there for half a millennium. Probing and courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time—and to construct a life after that place has vanished.

Axel Kirschner was a lifelong New Yorker, all Queens hustle and bravado. But he was also undocumented. After a minor traffic violation while driving his son to kindergarten, Axel was deported to Guatemala, a country he swore he had not lived in since he was a baby. While fighting his way back through Mexico on a migrant caravan, Axel met Levi Vonk, a young anthropologist and journalist from the US. That chance encounter would change both of their lives forever.

Si esto es un hombre, libro que inaugura la trilogía que Primo Levi dedicó a los campos de exterminio nazis, surgió en la imaginación de su autor durante los días de horror en Auschwitz, cuando la principal preocupación de los prisioneros era que, de sobrevivir, nadie creería la atrocidad de la historia vivida. Los campos de concentración y exterminio, más que resguardados por las alambradas y los guardias, lo estuvieron por su propia monstruosidad, que los hacía inconcebibles.

The Salome Ensemble probes the entangled lives, works, and passions of a political activist, a novelist, a screenwriter, and a movie actress who collaborated in 1920s New York City. Together they created the shape-shifting, genre-crossing Salome of the Tenements, first a popular novel and then a Hollywood movie. The title character was a combination Cinderella and Salome like the women who conceived her. Ginsberg considers the women individually and collectively.
