Book Synopsis
As the head of the aristocratic family, Don Fabrizio is accustomed to knowing his own place in the world and expects his household to run accordingly. He is aware of the changes which are rapidly making men obsolete but he remains attached to the old ways. But Don Fabrizio will make few accommodations for the modern world.

Trade Review
There is a great feeling of opulence, decay, love and death about it
Every once in a while, like certain golden moments of happiness, infinitely memorable, one stumbles on a book or a writer, and the impact is like an indelible mark. Lampedusa's The Leopard, his only novel, and a masterpiece, is such a work * Independent *
Perhaps the greatest novel of the century
One of the great lonely books...not a historical novel, but a novel which happens to take place in history
The poetry of Lampedusa's novel flows into the Sicilian countryside...a work of great artistry
