Review

"To the vast literature of the Holocaust, this modest little book forms no more than a footnote. But it's a precious footnote--a series of ripe meditations about the experience of Auschwitz....At a time when the Holocaust, like almost everything else in our culture, has been subjected to the vulgarity of public relations, Primo Levi wrote about this most terrible event with a purity of spirit for which we can only feel grateful. This was a man."

"Its status as an indispensable guidebook to the infernal cellars of the age we live in now is beyond dispute from the first chapter."

Publisher's note

A meditation on the meaning of the Nazi exterminations after the passing of forty years reveals how memories of the Holocaust have been filtered and rearranged by both the oppressor and the victims.

Annotation

Primo Levi's last book is an anguished view of the persistent torment and shame he feels because he had the luck to survive the Holocaust in which so many others perished. In his opinion, the best were those who "drowned" because they refused to compromise in any way.
