About this product

Product Information

Set in the 1860s, "The Leopard" tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue" The Leopard" with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time. Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late fifties; he died at age sixty, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. In his introduction, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, Lampedusa's nephew, gives us a detailed history of the initial publication and the various editions that followed. And he includes passages Lampedusa wrote for the book that were omitted by the original Italian editors. Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel.

  • The Serval

    Though little known or guessed from what appears a rather antiquated time in Italia & Sicilia remarkable past history, this novel, directly transcribed to the screen 56 years ago in a film as timeless as the landscape in which the film was shot, speaks of crumbling designs for a bygone reality, that see's an aristocracy & a right to rule dissolved. The 'modern' while it impinges upon a resolute prince in 19th Cent., Sicila, as even his nephew takes part in his own disengagement from power. The ruse of a wife, though lovely, has little of the fiber that the heir would wish for his legacy. Highly regarded as a masterpiece of literature, much like Budenbrooks by Thomas Mann, of men of station and their eventual fall from grace. Read the paperback yet in print, and take in the film from 1963 ...

  • Unhappy Reader

    The book was recommended to me by my brother. I didn't enjoy it. It was a slog to get through and seemed depressing. I reported those sentiments to my brother, who apologized, said he hadn't read it but had listened to the audio version and said his daughter had related the same report as I did.
