The Periodic Table is largely a memoir of the years before and after Primo Levi’s transportation from his native Italy to Auschwitz as an anti-Facist partisan and a Jew. "I immersed myself in The Periodic Table gladly and gratefully. There is nothing superfluous here, everything this book contains is essential. It is wonderful pure, and beautifully translatedI was deeply impressed" (Saul Bellow). "Brilliant, grave and oddly sunny; certainly a masterpiece" (Los Angeles Times). In 2006, the Royal Institution of Great Britain named it the best science book ever.
