Leopard FROM THE PUBLISHER A classic of modern fiction. Set in the 1860s, THE LEOPARD is the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution.
FROM THE CRITICS Daniel Mendelsohn - New York [A] masterpiece...this dense, dazzling novel, which contrasts the aging, melancholy prince Don Fabrizio with his headstrong nephew Tancredi, is one of the five or six greatest of the nineteenth century, it just happened to be written in the 1950's. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING A novel of exceptional stature. One may claim for it classic status.
— Frank Kermode
