And, if yes, to what extent may literature be capable of preserving our humanity in the face of unspeakable pain? These are some of the issues that this lecture addresses by considering two systems of suffering, the hells described by Dante in his \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e and Primo Levi in \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLino Pertile \u003c\/b\u003eis Carl A.
