Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time.

Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late fifties; he died at age sixty, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. In his introduction, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, Lampedusa’s nephew, gives us a detailed history of the initial publication and the various editions that followed. And he includes passages Lampedusa wrote for the book that were omitted by the original Italian editors.
Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel.

Jo Nesbo (Norwegian: born 29 March 1960) is a Norwegian writer, musician, and former economist and reporter. As of March 2019, more than 3 million copies of his novels have been sold in Norway, and his work has been translated into over 40 languages, selling 33 million copies worldwide. Known primarily for his crime novels featuring Inspector Harry Hole, Nesb is also the main vocalist and songwriter for the Norwegian rock band Di Derre. In 2007 he released his first children's book, Doktor Proktors Prompepulver (English translation: Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder).

The 2011 film Headhunters is based on Nesbo's novel, Hodejegerne (The Headhunters).
