The Leopard by Tomasi di Lampedusa

All our books are pre-loved.

One of the finest novels of the 20^th century, Lampedusa’s tour de force documents the collapse of an old order and the emergence of the new. Set in 1860 and detailing the explosion of revolutionary troops into the opulent world of the Sicilian aristocracy, The Leopard captures a very precise political and cultural moment and succeeds in making it timeless.
