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.
