Paperback. Condition: Very Good. (New York Review Books Classics). A bone-chilling tale of crime and punishment with the dark beauty of a backwoods ballad. Set on the dirt-poor Aegean island of Sklathos, it is the story of Hadoula, an old woman living on the margins of society and at the outer limits of respectability. She knows about herbs and their hidden properties, and women come to her when they need help. She knows womenâs secrets and she knows the misery of their lives, and as the book begins, she is trying to stop her newborn granddaughter from crying so that her daughter can at last get a little sleep. The terrible truth hits her: thereâs nothing worse than being born a woman, and thereâs something that she, Hadoula, can do about that. 127p.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Book and jacket are about As New in all respects. First printing by number line. Clean and unmarked. "In 1981, noted author and Holocaust survivor Levi (1919-86; The Periodic Table) edited this anthology of 30 short excerpts from works that were especially important to him. They are basically arranged in the order he read them himself and point to four main themes, delineated in the preface: salvation through laughter, our unjust suffering, our stature as human beings, and salvation through knowledge. These four aspects of Levi's reading possessed him both as a writer and as a man. The book covers such major writers as Homer, Rabelais, Jonathan Swift, T.S. Eliot, and Thomas Mann. Science writing (e.g., Charles Darwin, Arthur C. Clarke, Ludwig Gattermann) and Jewish life in 20th-century Europe (Levi's great subject, represented by writers like Isaac Babel and Sholem Aleichem) are also represented."--Gene Shaw, New York Public Library.
