In 'Calm Chaos', Sandro Veronesi presents the story of Pietro Paladini, a television executive whose life takes a turn after saving a stranger from drowning and, at the same time, losing his fiancée. Immersed in a state of chaotic calm, Pietro becomes the center of a world that transfers its own suffering to him. Through a pilgrimage of characters, such as his brother, his sister-in-law, and his co-workers, Veronesi explores the chaos of cities, family crises, and an economy based on speculation. Only his daughter seems to find the way to continue living and accept the impositions of maturity.
Sandro Veronesi is an Italian novelist, essayist, and journalist. After earning a degree in architecture at the University of Florence, he opted for a writing career in his mid to late twenties. Veronesi published his first book at the age of 25, a collection of poetry that has remained his only venture into verse writing. He has since published five novels, three books of essays, one theatrical piece, numerous introductions to novels and collections of essays, interviews, screenplays, and television programs.
