Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa - The Leopard
A Video Talk
The story of an aristocratic family in Sicily, whose fortunes are rapidly fading, is considered one of the best historical novels ever written. Sicilian society, Don Fabrizio and his family, are all so vividly portrayed, as is their crumbling home and lifestyle. A superb movie version, Visconti’s glorious 1963 film starring Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale is still delightful to watch today.
Travel with me to this ancient island, learn more about Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (one of the best-read men in the history of the world), and delve into a rich, thought-provoking, and memorable story that is now regarded as one of the great books of the 20th century.

One of my book clubs will be discussing “The Leopard” tomorrow. Your talk was outstanding. I learned so much about both the author and the novel. Thanks, Susannah!

Oh Linda, that is so lovely of you. Thanks for your kind comments and I hope your book club has a fabulous time discussing this great novel. Next month I will be taking a tour group to Sicily and we will be visiting many places associated with the book and the film. I am SO excited!
