=== In popular culture === * ''Till My Tale is Told: Women's Memoirs of the Gulag'' (1999), uses a part of the quatrain by Coleridge quoted by Levi in ''The Drowned and the Saved'' as its title. * [[Christopher Hitchens]]' book ''[[The Portable Atheist]]'', a collection of extracts of [[atheist]] texts, is dedicated to the memory of Levi, "who had the moral fortitude to refuse false consolation even while enduring the 'selection' process in Auschwitz". The dedication quotes Levi in ''[[The Drowned and the Saved]]'', asserting, "I too entered the Lager as a nonbeliever, and as a nonbeliever I was liberated and have lived to this day."<ref>Hitchens, ''The Portable Atheist''.</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Primo Levi |date=1986 |title=sommersi e i salvati |trans-title=The Drowned and the Saved |url=https://www.supersummary.com/the-drowned-and-the-saved/summary/ |access-date=14 January 2020}}</ref> * A quotation from Levi appears on the sleeve of the second album by the Welsh rock band [[Manic Street Preachers]], titled ''[[Gold Against the Soul]]''.
