A work by the Italian writer, Primo Levi, describing his 11 months from February 1944 until liberation on January 1945 in a German concentration camp at Auschwitz in Poland, during the Second World War. The book is described as a memoir, but it goes beyond mere recollection by seeking to consider, in narrative form, the human condition in all its extremes.
