Primo Levi was one of the most astonishing voices to emerge from
the twentieth century. This landmark selection of his short stories
opens up a world of wonder, love, cruelty and curious twists of
fate, where nothing is as it seems. In 'The Fugitive' an office
worker composes the most beautiful poem ever with unforeseen
consequences, while 'Magic Paint' sees a group of researchers
develop a paint that mysteriously protects them from misfortune.
'Gladiators' and 'The Knall' are chilling explorations of mass
violence, and in 'The Tranquil Star' a simple story of stargazing
becomes a meditation on language, imagination and infinity.
