Description
Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa - The Leopard
Louis Aragon hailed The Leopard as one of the greatest books ever written, and many literary experts consider it the finest Italian novel of the 20th century. Despite this acclaim, its author, Tomasi di Lampedusa—who came from an ancient noble family—never considered himself a writer. Yet, when his only novel was published posthumously in 1958, it was recognized as a work of genius. The book went on to win Italy’s most prestigious literary award, the Strega Prize, and in 1963, Luchino Visconti’s film adaptation brought the novel even more acclaim. Set primarily in the 1860s-80s during the Risorgimento—the movement for the liberation and unification of Italy—the novel is more than a socio-psychological drama. Within its richly layered narrative, The Leopard explores the passage of time, the mysteries of life and death, and the inescapable forces of change. Through its profound wisdom, irony, and baroque stylistic flourishes, Lampedusa’s novel stands as a timeless meditation on history, power, and the human condition.
