The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
In the spring of 1860, Fabrizio, the charismatic Prince of Salina, still rules over thousands of acres and hundreds of people, including his own numerous family, in mingled splendour and squalor. Then comes Garibaldi's landing in Sicily and the Prince must decide whether to resist the forces of change or come to terms with them. W. Somerset Maugham is the Introducer to this beautiful Everyman's Library edition.
