<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Sicilian prince, Don Fabrizio, hero of Lampedusa's great and only novel, is described as enormous in size, in intellect, and in sensuality. The book he inhabits shares his dimensions in its evocation of an aristocracy confronting democratic upheaval and the new force of nationalism. In the decades since its publication shortly after the author's death in 1957, <i>The Leopard</i> has come to be regarded as the twentieth century's greatest historical fiction. <p/>Introduction by David Gilmour; Translation by Archibald Colquhoun <p/>(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa was born in Palermo, Italy in 1896.
