- ** NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX TV SERIES** The Leopard is a modern classic which tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. 'There is a great feeling of opulence, decay, love and death about it' Rick Stein 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. 'No novel is perfect, but this small, wonderfully atmospheric and immensely poignant story...comes very close' Sunday Times 'A masterpiece' Independent INCLUDES RECENTLY DISCOVERED NEW MATERIAL
