the last book I ever read (If This is a Man by Primo Levi, excerpt six)

from If This is a Man by Primo Levi:

We have arrived at the Kraftwerk, where the cable-laying Kommando works. Engineer Levi must be here. There he is, only his head is visible above the trench. He waves to me, he is a spirited man, I have never seen his morale low, he never talks about eating.
