If This Is A Man/The Truce (50th Anniversary Edition): Surviving Auschwitz is a profound work by the acclaimed author Primo Levi, now featuring a compelling foreword by David Baddiel. This powerful memoir invites readers into the harrowing experiences of a Holocaust survivor, blending personal narrative with historical insight.
This 50th Anniversary Edition showcases Levi's remarkable ability to articulate the unthinkable horrors of Nazi Germany with clarity and empathy. His unpretentious prose transforms the incomprehensible into a compelling narrative, earning accolades such as Philip Roth's assertion that it stands as "one of the greatest human testaments of the era." Levi's voice, described as gentle and devoid of anger, resonates throughout the pages.
Philippe Sands commends the work as 'miraculous' for its ability to reveal the intrinsic humanity within each individual portrayed. The Guardian honors Levi as one of Italy's greatest writers, while The Independent emphasizes the book's raw truth, capable of expanding readers' understanding in a single sitting.
This edition not only memorializes the experiences of survival but also affirms Levi's status as a writer of profound importance in literature. Engage with this essential memoir and explore the depths of resilience and humanity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
