If This Is a Man to shape the book, giving it a clear sense of direction. In January 1947, the manuscript was rejected by Einaudi. The writers Cesare Pavese and Natalia Ginzburg thought it too early after the war for such an account. Levi managed to find a smaller publisher, De Silva, who printed 2,500 copies of the book, 1,500 of which were sold, mostly in Levi's hometown of Turin. In 1955, Levi signed a contract with Einaudi for a new edition, which was published in 1958. The initial printing of 2000 copies was followed by a second of the same size. An English translation
Limiting point (geometry) Limiting point (geometry) In geometry, the limiting points of two disjoint circles "A" and "B" in the Euclidean plane are points "p" that may be defined by any of the following equivalent properties: The midpoint of the two limiting points is the point where the radical axis of "A" and "B" crosses the line through their centers. This intersection point has equal power distance to all the circles in the pencil containing "A" and "B". The limiting points themselves can be found at this distance on either side of the intersection point, on the line through the two circle centers.
