"La tregua" è il racconto del ritorno di Primo Levi, il seguito di "Se questo è un uomo", che racconta le esperienze dell'autore durante il lungo viaggio attraverso Russia e Europa dell'Est per tornare alla sua Torino. Un viaggio assurdo, fatto di incontri con persone di civiltà e lingue diverse ma tutte vittime della stessa guerra. "Ci sono voluti anni per capire che quello che veniva etichettato come un testimone era uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento non soltanto italiano: cioè che era il migliore dei testimoni proprio perché grande scrittore."

"È avvenuto, quindi può accadere di nuovo: questo è il nocciolo di quanto abbiamo da dire." In otto, densi capitoli Primo Levi torna sull'esperienza dei Lager nazisti per leggerla non come un fatto conchiuso, un incidente della Storia, ma come una vicenda esemplare attraverso cui è possibile capire fin dove può giungere l'uomo nel ruolo del carnefice e in quello della vittima. Opera altissima sulla natura del male e sulla natura dell'uomo, "I sommersi e i salvati" rappresenta un contributo importante alla fondazione di una nuova, vigile coscienza critica.
