The Wrench

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Wrench, published in the U.S. under the title of The Monkey's Wrench, is a novel by Primo Levi about a construction worker and a chemist who swap stories about their everyday lives while based at a remote workcamp. First published as La Chiave a Stella by Einaudi in 1978, it was published in English translation in 1987. The book was written after Levi had retired from the family paint business SIVA and is semi-autobiographical. It takes the form of interconnected stories exchanged between the two main characters. In this, it is similar to Levi's collection of connected memoir stories, The Periodic Table. It also shares that book's interest in "what Levi would call the homo faber, man as maker or tool-maker".
