Synopsis "En Hora Incerta (in Catalan)"

_En hora incerta_ recull tota la produccio poetica de Primo Levi, per be que la majoria de poemes son escrits just en tornar d'Auschwitz. La memoria, la pietat, la indignacio i la força moral de Levi es fan universals en els seus versos, que tenen la mateixa intensitat i força que la seva prosa. Aquesta primera traduccio, que va rebre el Premi Jordi Domenech, vol donar-los a coneixer en catala i reivindicar-los. "La poesia de Levi es irregular, tant en el fons com en la forma. La primera part del llibre, centrada en els turments d'Auschwitz, es escruixidora, amb alguns dels seus cims poetics. La segona es una poesia que pot semblar de circumstancia, pero que te moments francament deliciosos, amb una fascinacio lluminosa pel mon natural que contrasta amb el mon torturat de l'holocaust: "L'elefant" i "El ratoli" son una petita meravella de contrastos: la primera es terrible, la segona divertidissima. Pero fins i tot quan la poesia no passa de l'anecdota banal ("Els gavians de Settimo" o les poesies sobre els escacs, per exemple), Levi no deixa de ser mai interessant; un poeta rar, pero important que va fer el millor que pot fer un poeta: escriure nomes quan tenia alguna cosa a dir".

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.
