Hybridism in Primo Levi's writings
Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the writer's fascination of complexity of the universe and
hybridism. He used to call himself a centaur, because of his double disposition:
novelist/poet and chemist. Levi, stretched between being Italian and Jew, writer
and chemist, commentator and translator, between the «daily» and «nightly»
writing, was able to transcend the common division between letters and science. He
was interested in contamination, mixture, mutation, and discussed hybridity in
many essays and literary scherzos to show convolutions of human condition and
prolific richness of life. Levi's unusual powers of observation combine with an
abundance of themes and literary forms, which proves that his works are marked
by hybridism at morphological level as well.
