C'era uno sport che veniva praticato nei campi di concentramento, il pugilato. Piaceva al Führer, piaceva alle guardie naziste che scommettevano sugli incontri, piaceva ai kapò che obbligavano i prigionieri a combattere di notte su ring improvvisati. Sono tornato per te racconta la storia di chi è sprofondato in quell'inferno e ne è uscito aggrappandosi a un ricordo. "In quella stanca e sventurata stagione che aveva già vendemmiato, nella quale le foglie a una a una cadevano dai tralci, Cono ripensò al bacio con Serenella quando erano accovacciati sotto le viti.

В книге три главных героя: гротескный и даже комичный комендант Освенцима Пауль Долль, офицер из того же концлагеря Гело Томсен и еврей-заключенный Захариас Шмуль. Томсен влюбляется в Ханну, жену коменданта, а Шмуль готов на убийство или самоубийство ради спасения своей жены, попавшей в лапы нацистов.
