  20. When the most important book on the Shoah went unnoticed
    J'étais un homme
    Primo LEVI, Michèle CAUSSE (trans.)

    J'étais un homme[If This Is a Man]

    Buchet-Chastel|Paris 1961|14 x 19 cm|broché

    Michèle Causse's translation reflects the difficulty of transcribing the words of witnesses to the unspeakable. But it was above all the unconscious refusal to hear this voice that contributed to the failure of Primo Levi's first book, like that of...
