1947, Primo Levi, “Una buona giornata”, in Se questo è un uomo [If This Is a Man], Torino: Einaudi, published 1987, →ISBN, page 95:Al tramonto, suona la sirena del Feierabend, della fine del lavoro; e poiché siamo tutti, almeno per qualche ora, sazi, cosí non sorgono litigi, ci sentiamo buoni, il Kapo non si induce a picchiarci, e siamo capaci di pensare alle nostre madri e alle nostre mogli, il che di solito non accade. Per qualche ora, possiamo essere infelici alla maniera degli uomini liberi.- At sunset, the siren of the Feierabend sounded, of the end of work; and since we are all, at least for some time, full, that way fights don't come up, we feel well, the leader does not feel it in himself to hit us, and we are capable of thinking of our mothers and of our wives, something which typically does not happen. At some hour, we can be unhappy about the ways of free men.
