Primo Levi (1919–1987) has become an iconic figure at the intersection of chemistry and culture. Levi has long been praised for his autobiographical account as survivor in Auschwitz and by his literary masterpiece “The Periodic Table.” Little is however known beyond such facts, especially his academic period and early research on stereochemistry at the University of Turin, which were abruptly truncated by the racial laws and WWII. Even if, later on, Primo Levi succeeded as industrial chemist, he had a vivid interest in molecular asymmetry that lasted through his entire life. This concise paper highlights a little known academic period in the midst of social and political upheaval. Levi left us his humanity in an otherwise tortuous life, and his literature took inspiration from chemistry; perhaps as a metaphor connecting the physical world and people's life.

Primo Levi：沮丧的立体化学家？-事后的洞察力
Primo Levi（1919–1987）已成为化学和文化交汇处的标志性人物。列维（Levi）长期以来因其自传作为奥斯威辛集中营的幸存者和他的文学杰作《元素周期表》而受到赞扬。然而，除了这样的事实之外，鲜为人知，尤其是他的学术时期和都灵大学对立体化学的早期研究，这被种族法和第二次世界大战突然中断了。即使后来Primo Levi成功地成为工业化学家，他对贯穿整个生命的分子不对称也充满了兴趣。这份简洁的论文着重介绍了在社会和政治动荡中鲜为人知的学术时期。列维（Levi）在曲折的生活中离开了他的人性，他的文学从化学中得到启发。
