A review by carmenx9
The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
5.0
Devoured this one. Feels like it was written as a treatment for Visconti to adapt for film, which it definitely was not, but I am very excited to watch the film with Book Club in a couple weeks.
The translation is a bit clunky (or is that just very faithful?) and the editing of this edition is a bit shoddy (can't decide whether or not to use italics or quote marks for opera titles vs aria/song titles), but it doesn't take away from the opulence and decadence of the telling.
