Throughout her career she remained a committed defender of the right of minorities, students, workers and the disenfranchised.<\/p>\n<p>Five years ago, on her ninetieth birthday, in an interview with La Stampa she recounted: \u201cThe racial laws marked a watershed moment in the subsequent direction of my life: I was outraged, I would say I was shaken in my deepest passions. And that was the reason that compelled me to take sides and cemented my relationships with that group of Jewish friends that included Primo Levi, as well as my husband\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We are proud to begin our publishing venture, CPL Editions, with Guidetti Serra\u2019s <em>Primo Levi, the Friend,<\/em> available this summer. In these pages, the author, who had met Primo Levi during their university years, delicately weaves personal memories with abundant quotations from Levi\u2019s writing, allowing his voice to come through loud and clear, conjuring up the author\u2019s persona, as intrinsically linked to his work.<\/p>\n<p>What also comes alive here is Levi\u2019s unique gift for deep and long lasting friendships.<\/p>\n<p>Bianca Guidetti Serra\u2019s towering example as an advocate for social justice, independent thinking and the rule of law will be treasured.<\/p>\n<p>From her autobiography <em>Bianca La Rossa, <\/em>Einaudi 2009, written with Santina Mobiglia: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.einaudi.it\/var\/einaudi\/contenuto\/extra\/978880619665PCA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>She is also the author of:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Il paese dei celestini<\/em>\u00a0(with Francesco Santanera), Einaudi, Torino 1973<\/p>\n<p><em>Compagne.
