Book Reviews of The Leopard: A Novel
Book Review: A novel for all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
It was written in the late 1950s by an aristocrat who did not live to see it published. Nothing much happens as the story carefully unfolds, and yet it says something to all of us, whatever our interest in that seemingly dead world. The Leopard is the Prince, caught between the quiet death of a despotic Scicily and the birth of of a bright new Italy. He watches as those around him make their choices and take their chances, and he fools himself by believing in his own strengths and the dead hand of his impassive, impossible island. This wonderfully translated text will beguile you and wish that Lampedusa had written more. Let yourself be drawn towards its sensuous heart.
