Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Nobody knows how much I owe that man, Primo Levi said of the bricklayer who saved his life at Auschwitz. I could never repay him. Levi was referring to Lorenzo Perrone, who for six months risked his own life to smuggle food, letters and clothing to Levi, providing him with the sustenance he needed to survive.In A Man of Few Words, Carlo Greppi pieces together the life of Perrone, a near destitute labourer with little formal education. Despite their stark differences, Levi and Perrones friendship survived the Holocaust and continued until Perrones tragic death. As Perrone withdrew from the world, Levi tried persistently to preserve the memory of this man of few words who had saved his life, but who left few traces of his own behind.This is a universal story about an individual who kept hope alive in one of the darkest times and places known to manGreppis biography of this elusive figure is intriguingGreppi suggests that Perrones untutored altruism answers the deepest question of Levis oeuvre: what it means to be human. Because Perrones solidarity had neither motive nor reason. It was simply instinctive. And theres something beautifully poetic in the fact that such instinct was revealed through a man who was so simple and so troubled.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. La historia de Lorenzo no es solo la biografia del hombre que ayudo a Primo Levi: es el relato de una humanidad deshumanizada en la que es necesario hacer una eleccion moral. Y yo le dije: Mira, te estas arriesgando al hablar conmigo. Y el respondio No me importa. En Si esto es un hombre, Primo Levi escribio Creo que es a Lorenzo a quien debo estar vivo hoy. Pero, quien era Lorenzo? Lorenzo Perrone, que asi se llamaba, es la pieza del puzzle de la biografia de Primo que nos faltaba por conocer: un albanil piamontes que vivia frente a la valla de Auschwitz III-Monowitz. Un hombre pobre, casi analfabeto que durante seis meses llevo a Levi un plato de sopa cada dia para ayudarle a compensar su desnutricion en el Lager. Y no se limito a ayudarle en sus necesidades mas concretas: fue mucho mas alla, arriesgando incluso su vida para permitirle comunicarse con su familia. Cuido de su joven amigo como solo un padre podria haberlo hecho. La suya fue una amistad extraordinaria que, nacida en el infierno, sobrevivio a la guerra y continuo en Italia hasta la agonica muerte de Lorenzo en 1952, doblegado por el alcohol y la tuberculosis. Primo nunca le olvido hablaba a menudo de el y puso a sus hijos nombres en recuerdo de su amigo. Este libro es la biografia de una de una de esas personas que viven sin dejar, aparentemente, huella ni recuerdo de si mismas. Pero que, bien mirado, son la verdadera piedra angular de la humanidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Lorenzo's story is not only the biography of the man who helped Primo Levi: it is the tale of a dehumanized humanity in which it is necessary to make a moral choice. And I said, "Look, you're taking a risk by talking to me." And he said, "I don't care." In If This Is a Man, Primo Levi wrote, "I believe it is Lorenzo that I must be alive today." But who was Lorenzo? Lorenzo Perrone, as he was called, is the piece of the puzzle of Primo's biography that we have yet to know: a Piedmontese bricklayer who lived in front of the fence of Auschwitz III-Monowitz. A poor, almost illiterate man who for six months brought Levi a bowl of soup every day to help him compensate for his malnutrition in the Lager. And he did not limit himself to helping him with his most concrete needs: he went much further, even risking his life to allow him to communicate with his family. He cared for his young friend as only a father could have. Theirs was an extraordinary friendship that, born in hell, survived the war and continued in Italy until Lorenzo's agonizing death in 1952, bent by alcohol and tuberculosis. Primo never forgot him: he often spoke of him and named his children in memory of his friend. This book is the biography of one of those people who live without, apparently, leaving a trace or memory of themselves. But that, on closer inspection, are the true cornerstone of humanity.
