Levi was a partisan for about 3 months and this is about Levi, the fighter, and the early days of the Resistance. Luzzatto moves away from the glorifying image of the good partisan and paints a realistic and honest picture of the Resistance. Se questo è un uomo is one of the most important novels I read, finding out more about Levi, the fighter, made me appreciate him as a complex man. Not sure if someone who hasn't read Levi will enjoy this book?

Anna40 I added a link above: it's a fascinating lecture Sergio Luzzatto gave in Montreal, introducing this book. 4y
