A gripping mystery-adventure about a desperate search for identity by critically acclaimed author, Timothee de Fombelle.

Druhý a třetí díl volné trilogie navazuje na Velký sešit (1986), který tvoří deníkové záznamy osudově spojených bratrů – dvojčat, podivně geniálních i cynicky krutých, kteří prožívají dětství za války v pohraničním městečku u své babičky. Důkaz (1988) sleduje příběh jednoho z nich, Lukase, úředně prohlášeného za idiota, který poté, kdy jeho bratr překročí ilegálně hranice do sousední svobodné země, dál osaměle hospodaří v babiččině domě v zemi okupované cizí armádou. Třetí lež (1991) je retrospektivním monologem dvou stárnoucích mužů: Clause T., jehož osudy jsou totožné s osudy Lukasova bratra emigranta, a Klause Lukase, slavného básníka nedávno osvobozené země.

Libro incluido en Biblioteca Selecta Forum de Barcelona 2004 «Algunos de mis amigos, amigos muy queridos, no hablan nunca de Auschwitz [...] Otras personas, en cambio, hablan de Auschwitz incesantemente, y yo soy una de ellas [...] después empecé a escribir a máquina por la noche... escribía todas las noches lo cual era considerado algo todavía más insensato». Primo Levi «escribe aquello que no sabría decir a nadie», y el texto, inicialmente esbozado durante el cautiverio -cuya misma conservación hacía peligrar la vida del autor de ser descubierto- plasma la existencia en los Lager con una concisión estremecedora. Estructurado en 17 capítulos, el libro es la crónica del horror cotidiano, de las privaciones como estado habitual, de la triste espera de la nada arraigada en una iniquidad sin estridencias. Más allá de las propias reflexiones, Levi presta especial atención al comportamiento de los otros prisioneros, ocupados también en sobrevivir un día más, y otro y otro. Todos conviven en una inercia dolorosa y absurda con la tentación de la inactividad como antesala de la muerte; la muerte es una presencia constante, a menudo indiferente, corolario de una cotidianidad regida por un sistema de irracionales normas no escritas. Como advierte Levi , muy pronto los prisioneros son convertidos en «peleles miserables y sórdidos», y más bajo no se podía llegar.
