Description
La tregua, Primo Levi’s second book, was published in 1963 by Einaudi, sixteen years after the first edition of Se questo è un uomo. There is a map at the end of La tregua, where we can see a line tracing Levi’s tortuous itinerary. The line starts out at Auschwitz and ends at Turin, after crossing seven countries – Poland, the Soviet Union (Byelorussia and the Ukraine), Rumania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Austria (twice), and Germany. This is the line tracing the route of the journey home that Levi was forced to take after the liberation of Auschwitz.
