Other People's Trades (Italian: L'altrui mestiere) are forty three essays written by Primo Levi between 1969 and 1985.
These are, according to Levi, "the fruit of my roaming about as a curious dilettante for more than a decade." Mainly written for his regular column in La Stampa, the Turin daily newspaper], these essays range from book reviews, autobiographical snippets, homespun philosophy and scientific curiosities. Immensely readable, educational and informative, these essays demonstrate Levi's skill as a supreme communicator.
They were originally published by Einaudi in 1985. They were translated in English by Raymond Rosenthal and published by Summit Books in 1989.
