“The Periodic Table” – Fifth book published by Primo Levi. It is a collection of stories published in 1975. The work collects 21 stories, each titled with the name of an element of the periodic table, connected to it in some way. The themes are numerous, centered on the professional life of a chemist and contained in an autobiographical framework. From the first experiments to the first jobs, from the experiences of life in the Nazi concentration camps to the stories – real or fictional – related to the profession of chemist: the author’s life seen through the kaleidoscope of chemistry.
