Abacus If This Is A Man. The Truce Levi Primo

Primo Levi's account of life as a concentration camp prisoner falls into two parts. If This is a Man describes his deportation to Poland and the twenty months he spend working in Auschwitz. The Truce covers his long journey to Italy at the end of the war through Russia and Central Europe. Levi never raises his voice, complains or attributes blame. By telling his story quietly, objectively and in plain language he renders both the horror and the hope of the situation with absolute clarity. Probing the themes which preoccupy all his writing - work love, power, the nature of things, what it is to be human - he leaves the reader drained, elated, apprehensive

The occasion: high school reunion. The place: an oil rig converted into a tourist resort. The outcome: carnage • Gavin is creating a unique 'holiday experience', every facility any tourist who hates abroad will ever want, will all be available on a converted North Sea oil rig. To test the facilities he's hosting a reunion for his old school (none of his ex-classmates can remember him, but what the heck, it's free). He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice that another group have invited themselves along -- a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are occasionally of more danger to themselves than to the public. And they in turn are unaware that Inspector MacGregor has got wind of their activities. Within twenty-four hours Gavin's dream has blown to the four winds, along with a lot of other things

Based on the series produced for the BBC World Service Who thought up paper money? How did the contraceptive pill change the face of the legal profession? Why was the horse collar as important for human progress as the steam engine? How did the humble spreadsheet turn the world of finance upside-down? The world economy defies comprehension. A continuously-changing system of immense complexity, it offers over ten billion distinct products and services, doubles in size every fifteen years, and links almost every one of the planet's seven billion people. It delivers astonishing luxury to hundreds of millions. It also leaves hundreds of millions behind, puts tremendous strains on the ecosystem, and has an alarming habit of stalling. Nobody is in charge of it

Quand Si c'est un homme paraît, en 1947, le livre passe inaperçu. Il faudra attendre plus de dix ans avant qu'une nouvelle édition révèle en Primo Levi non seulement un témoin qui aide comme aucun autre à comprendre l'univers concentrationnaire, mais un grand écrivain. Primo Levi, qui dit devoir à Auschwitz sa vocation littéraire, revint sans cesse sur ce qu'il avait écrit dans Si c'est un homme. Il se fit gardien de la mémoire, interlocuteur toujours prêt à éclairer notre vision des camps, du nazisme et de l'antisémitisme, et à alerter contre le retour de ce mal sous la même et sous d'autres formes • Dans ce recueil d'entretiens diffusés à la radio ou parus dans la presse écrite, il explore - avec son génie de la précision, sa capacité d'ironie et sa hauteur de vue - ces questions qui sont au coeur de son oeuvre
