| | 2. |  | The Drowned and the Saved
from Vintage
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
"The Drowned and the Saved" by Primo Levi, is different in one aspect from his earlier works dealing with his experiences in Auschwitz: in the previous books, he was still an impassioned young man, racing as it was to record his memories and experiences.

from Everyman's Library
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:

from W. W. Norton
Price: $8.98
Customer Review:
That Primo Levi remains the author of perhaps the finest memoir of the Holocaust remains beyond dispute. His crisp vivid prose have helped half a century of readers imagine the unimaginable, yet Levi's work extended far beyond his memoirs of the evil he endured, but unfortunately, like... more info
