Review:
"Universal mysteries and the legacy of world war are imaginatively transfigured in this beguiling collection....The infinite and the ineffable [are] portrayed with singular wit and charm." (starred review)
Kirkus, 03/01/2007
Review:"Reading the stories collected in A TRANQUIL STAR, you may smile, occasionally laugh, feel intrigued, amused, possibly entertained--but again and again there is that disquieting moment when you see that what you laughed at, what amused you, should not have, that there was something dark at the heart of it, something bitter, evil, and obscene."
Anita Desai, New York Review of Books, 07/19/2007

Book Description: WW Norton Co, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 204 x 191 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. These seventeen stories, first published in Italian between 1949 and 1986, demonstrate Levi's extraordinary range, taking the reader from the primal resistance of a captured partisan fighter to a middle-aged chemist experimenting with a new paint that wards off evil, to the lustful thoughts of an older man obsessed with a mysterious woman in a seaside villa. In the title story, Levi demonstrates his unerringly tragic understanding of the fragility of the universe through the tale of a pensive astronomer, terrified by the possibility that a long-dormant star might explode and reduce the entire planet to vapor. This remarkable new collection affirms Italo Calvino's conviction that Levi was "one of the most important and gifted writers of our time.".
