His works are characterized by the lean, dispassionate eloquence with which he approaches his experience of incarceration in Auschwitz. His memoirs--as well as his poetry and fiction and his many interviews--are often taught in several fields, including Jewish studies and Holocaust studies, comparative literature, and Italian language and literature, and can enrich the study of history, psychology, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of this volume provides instructors with an overview of the available editions, anthologies, and translations of Levi's work and identifies other useful classroom aids, such as films, music, and online resources. In the second part, contributors describe different approaches to teaching Levi's work. Some, in presenting \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Reawakening\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Drowned and the Saved\u003c\/i\u003e, look at the place of style in Holocaust testimony and the reliability of memory in autobiography. Others focus on questions of translation, complicated by the untranslatable in the language and experiences of the concentration camps, or on how Levi incorporates his background as a chemist into his writing, most clearly in \u003ci\u003eThe Periodic Table\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Patruno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603291482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603291484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Nicholas Patruno","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097004810495,"sku":"9781603291484","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-the-works-nicholas-patruno-9781603291484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
