The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time. 520 $a Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late fifties; he died at age sixty, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. In his introduction, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, Lampedusa's nephew, gives us a detailed history of the initial publication and the various editions that followed. And he includes passages Lampedusa wrote for the book that were omitted by the original Italian editors. 520 $a Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel. 650 0 $a Italian fiction $v Translations into English. 651 0 $a Italy $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Colquhoun, Archibald. 941 $a 6 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525035911.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230913010435.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20230103011819.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116115052.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20140812081332.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20130402021526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C121E9C8E76811E1AF1839E46AFF544E 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
