The Leopard (Paperback)

'There is a great feeling of opulence, decay, love and death about it.' - Rick Stein

'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.' - L.P. Hartley

'One of the great lonely books...not a historical novel, but a novel which happens to take place in history.' - E.M. Forster

'The poetry of Lampedusa's novel flows into the Sicilian countryside...a work of great artistry.' - Peter Ackroy

‘A masterpiece.' - The Independent

'Perhaps the greatest novel of the century.' - L.P. Hartley
