The Leopard

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.

Rejected by both Einaudi and Mondadori, two of the biggest publishing houses in the country, Tomasi di Lampedusa did not live to see the publication of his only novel, now considered to be one of the most important works of Italian literature.
