(1 review)

The acclaimed novel by Lampedusa gives an exquisite portrait of a despotic Sicilian aristocrat. The story unfolds over the duration of Italian reunification during the nineteenth century, beginning at the time when Garibaldi’s forces have landed on Sicily as part of his drive to unify and modernise the country.
