A review by keebleman
The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
5.0
A superb novel, realistic about people, realistic about the world. It doesn’t offer solutions because it knows that only a charlatan or a fool ever would.
I hope I can find a fully annotated edition, as it does assume quite a lot of knowledge about Italian unification. Prior to Google and Wikipedia non-specialist readers must have been bewildered.
