" On est volontiers persuad� d'avoir lu beaucoup de choses � propos de l'holocauste, on est convaincu d'en savoir au moins autant. Et, convenons-en avec une sinc�rit� �gale au sentiment de la honte, quelquefois, devant l'accumulation, on a envie de crier gr�ce.
C'est que l'on n'a pas encore entendu Levi analyser la nature complexe de l'�tat du malheur.
Peu l'ont prouv� aussi bien que Levi, qui a l'air de nous retenir par les basques au bord du mena�ant oubli : si la litt�rature n'est pas �crite pour rappeler les morts aux vivants, elle n'est que futilit�. "
Angelo Rinaldi

" Ce volume est aussi important que la Bible. Un Livre fonda une religion humaniste il y a des mill�naires. Un autre Livre raconte la fin de l'humanit� au XXe si�cle. " Fr�d�ric Beigbeder
