Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusas klassiske værk er en både morsom og tragisk skildring af 1860'ernes Sicilien, der samledes med det øvrige Italien, og historien om en adelsslægts storhed og fald. En stor fortælling om et land og en familie i forandring.Fyrsten af Salina, eller Leoparden, som han også kaldes, er en mægtig mand på Sicilien. I familiens våbenskjold er det stærke rovdyr leoparden – og sådan er fyrsten også. Men i revolutionsåret 1860 er den sicilianske adels nedtur begyndt, og det gamle aristokrati frygter for sine privilegier og bakker instinktivt op om kong Ferdinando mod Garibaldis revolutionære styrker. Der er dog også interne stridigheder i de gamle familier, og Don Fabrizio fra den stolte Salino-slægt forstår ikke, hvorfor hans elskede nevø, Tancredi, kæmper på den modsatte side.Leoparden er en stor europæisk fortælling, der genudgives i Rosinantes klassikerserie i Thomas Harders roste oversættelse og med nyt forord af Mikkel Fønsskov.

Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. 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.
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.
Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel. (Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun.)
