Primo Levi
Primo Levi was an Italian chemist and writer, best known for his poignant memoirs detailing his experiences as a Holocaust survivor in Auschwitz. His literary work often explores the intersection of science and humanity, using irony and a deep understanding of the human condition to challenge and redefine the notion of what it means to be human in the face of technological advancement and dehumanization. Levi's collection of short stories, 'Histórias Naturais', reflects his humanistic values while simultaneously questioning them through the lens of science fiction.
Born on Jul 31, 1919 (106 years old)
