What They're Saying
Critics Review
There is a great feeling of opulence, decay, love and death about it
“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 Ackroyd “I was astounded by the power of the writing” – Corin Redgrave
