Beschreibung

<p><b>A beautiful hardback edition of the great Italian classic.</b><br><br>'Historical fiction at its best' <i>The Week</i><br><br><b>It is the spring of 1869 and there is talk of revolution in Sicily.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>But then comes Garibaldi's landing on the Scicilian coast.<br><br><b>As Garibaldi's forces press inland, the Prince must decide whether to resist the forces of change or come to terms with them.</b><br><br>'Every once in a while...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' <i>Independent</i><br><br>'The poetry of Lampedusa's novel flows into the Sicilian countryside...a work of great artistry' Peter Ackroyd<br><br><b>Vintage Quarterbound Classics: Bound to be beautiful</b></p>
