The Periodic Table: A Memoir by Primo Levi
Saturday, January 24, 2026
Published in 1975, The Periodic Table by Primo Levi is a collection of 21 autobiographical stories, each named after and inspired by a chemical element. Levi recounts episodes from his life, including his experiences before, during, and after the Holocaust, to explore themes of identity, memory, and the human condition. The book interweaves his passion for science and his professional life with his personal history, showing how chemistry provided a lens through which to understand and survive experiences. In 2006, the Royal Institution of Great Britain named it the best science book ever written. We invite you to join us as we read and discuss portions of the text in online seminars about one month apart, eventually completing the entire book.
