NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMATISATION FOR RADIO 4 - AVAILABLE ON BBC SOUNDS

This is the new, revised edition which includes recently discovered new material including letters and diary entries by the author and two additional sections of the novel.

The Leopard is a modern classic which tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution.

'There is a great feeling of opulence, decay, love and death about it' Rick Stein

In the spring of 1860, Fabrizio, the charismatic Prince of Salina, still rules over thousands of acres and hundreds of people, including his own numerous family, in mingled splendour and squalor. Then comes Garibaldi's landing in Sicily and the Prince must decide whether to resist the forces of change or come to terms with them.

'Every once in a while, like certain golden moments of happiness, infinitely memorable, one stumbles on a book or a writer, and the impact is like an indelible mark. Lampedusa's The Leopard, his only novel, and a masterpiece, is such a work' Independent

INCLUDES RECENTLY DISCOVERED NEW MATERIAL

'Perhaps the greatest novel of the century' L.P. Hartley

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece
Reviewed in Australia on 21 January 2016

Re-reading this book after 50 years I believe that it is a truly great novel. It is a vivid and poetic evocation of mid-19th century Sicilian society as the aristocratic families are caught up in the Risorgimento. The story is so cleverly and engagingly told that I could not put the book down before the finish. I feel that I have lived through this period of Italian history and that I now have a better understanding of Sicily. A must read for anyone contemplating a visit to the Mezzogiorno.

A wonderful book about the end of an aristocratic family as Sicily became part of Italy.
So well written (even in translation), it is a pleasure to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Leopard again
Reviewed in Australia on 13 March 2015
Verified Purchase
After readings separated by more than thirty years the Leopard hasn't really changed his spots: enigmatic, admirable and annoying. The nastiness of the future projected seems again balanced by the perversions of the past, or so it remains and leavened only by some unexpected present relief from gloom. Sympathy for the Leopard , as before.

Lampedusa cuenta la historia de su familia, con el trasfondo de la historia de Sicilia y de toda Italia. Como no domino el Italiano, escogí el inglés, y así maté dos pájaros de un tiro. Me pareció una muy buena traducción.

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend it.
Reviewed in Canada on 10 December 2020

I bought this book to my daughter, because her generation is not very familiar with the literature of the past - in my humble opinion. I read it shortly after its first edition, in another translation, the book was the bestseller of its time, I was very pleased with it, therefore I give it a high rating. I cannot comment much on this English translation.
