The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa

In the spring of 1860, Fabrizio, the charismatic Prince of Salina, still rules over thousands of acres and hundreds of people, including his own numerous family, in mingled splendour and squalor. Then comes Garibaldi's landing in Sicily and the Prince must decide whether to resist the forces of change or come to terms with them.

With striking red spines, stylish design and introductions by leading cultural figures VINTAGE CLASSICS are some of the most inspiring and thought-provoking books of all time, as relevant today as they have ever been.
