Synopsis "El Sistema Periódico (in Spanish)"

«Un libro extraordinario y fascinante que no puede por menos de dejar una profunda huella en el lector.» Italo Calvino



El sistema periódico está estructurado en ventiún capítulos, cada uno de ellos dedicado a un elemento químico convertido en metáfora del hombre y de las relaciones humanas. Si la nostalgia irónica permea en el capítulo que se ocupa del  «Argón» (en que Levi traza la historia de sus antepasados) o la poesía aflora en su reflexión sobre el «Hierro» y su amistad con Sandro (más tarde hecho prisionero por los fascistas y asesinado por un niño-carnicero), la imaginación pura domina el relato que le sugiere el «Mercurio», a la vez que un dramatismo atenuado por la lucidez preside el capítulo correspondiente al «Vanadio», narración del reencuentro del escritor –acabada la guerra y por razones profesionales– con uno de sus carceleros de Auschwitz. Primo Levi, químico de profesión, nos describe el mundo a través de la tabla periódica con una lucidez y una maestría literaria prodigiosas.

He was born into a Jewish family settled in Piedmont. In 1941, he graduated as a chemist from the University of Turin, a profession he would later combine with his literary activity. After participating in the resistance in northern Italy, he was captured and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Following the liberation of the camp in 1945, and after a hazardous journey through Eastern Europe, Levi returned to Turin, where he published his first account of the Nazi extermination camps, If This Is a Man (1947), a foundational book of concentration camp literature

Subsequently, The Truce (1963) and The Drowned and the Saved (1986) were published, two essential titles that complete the Auschwitz Trilogy. Among his works are also his five volumes of stories: Natural Histories, Structural Defect, The Periodic Table, Lilith and Other Stories, and Last Christmas of War.
