Neuware - NOW A NETFLIX SERIES In this powerful novel, an aristocratic family grapples with societal upheaval and personal struggles against the backdrop of sweeping historical change.This beautiful hardcover edition, translated by Archibald Colquhoun, also includes two short stories and a brief memoir of the author's childhood.'A majestic, melancholy, and beautiful novel.'The New Yorker 'A masterwork . . . A superb novel.'NewsweekIn 1860s Sicily, Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, remains skeptical and stoic as he faces civil war and his family's loss of wealth and status. The prince's favorite nephew, Tancredi, who opportunistically supports the unification efforts, marries Angelica, a beautiful woman from a lower social class, to secure his future. This marriage symbolizes the shifting social order and the decline of the aristocracy. As Don Fabrizio struggles to adapt, he retreats into his love of astronomy, finding solace in the unchanging stars while his world crumbles around him. Ultimately, he must decide to resist the forces of change or come to terms with them.Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, the last in a line of Sicilian princes, drew inspiration from his own family's decline to write this novel in the 1950s. The dramatic sweep and richness of Lampedusa's observation, his seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and his sure grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with beauty and power."No novel in Italian literature has aroused so much passion or caused so much argument The book is more than the memorable invocation of a certain place in a certain epoch.
