ginny__'s review against another edition
4.0
L'ho letto perché è uno dei classici italiani, moderni e non, che mi mancano. Premetto che i romanzi di famiglia non fanno per me, per cui ho preferito i momenti in cui la storia del Principe e della sua famiglia sono più strettamente legati alla storia dell'unificazione italiana. Ma mi è piaciuto: con la sua prosa ornata, le sue riflessioni politiche e filosofiche, il suo disincanto. Le descrizioni dell'arsura dell'estate siciliana, nell'attesa della pioggia che non arriva, non le dimenticherò facilmente.

Enjoyable, found some of the chapters boring and a slog.

I wish I'd known about this book sooner. I would have read it faster but was limited by my lack of knowledge regarding Sicilian history which I am pleased to now have some familiarity with it.

A lush, lyrical portrait of the decadent, anxious edge of modernity, The Leopard sometimes reads like poetry and its imagery is so rich, you'd be hard pressed to remember you aren't actually using all five senses.
