"The Drowned and the Saved" is a book of essays on life in the Nazi "Vernichtungslager" (extermination camps) by Italian-Jewish author and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, drawing on his personal experience as an inmate of Auschwitz.
Whereas "If This is a Man" was autobiographical "The Drowned and the Saved" is an attempt at an analytical approach. The problem of the fallibility of memory, the techniques used by the Nazis to break the will of prisoners, the use of language in the camps and the nature of violence are all studied in a poet's style that sometimes supersedes scientific conventions.
