| | 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: $15.20
Customer Review:
