    “Book Descriptions: The Sicilian prince Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa (1896-1957) died just after writing The Leopard, his only novel. Visconti's film adaptation, starring Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale, won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1963.

    In Sicily, in 1860, a family from the high aristocracy suffered the consequences of the change of regime in favor of the Republicans. While Prince Salina lets himself be overcome by nostalgia, his nephew Tancred embodies the new force that is shaking his country. He asks for the hand of Angélique, daughter of an upstart, while this union marks the defeat of the family coat of arms.

    Le prince sicilien Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa (1896-1957) mourut juste après avoir écrit Le Guépard, son unique roman. L’adaptation cinématographique de Visconti, avec Alain Delon et Claudia Cardinale, a obtenu la Palme d’or à Cannes en 1963.

    En Sicile, en 1860, une famille de la haute aristocratie subit les conséquences du changement de régime en faveur des républicains. Tandis que le prince Salina se laisse gagner par la nostalgie, son neveu Tancrède incarne la force nouvelle qui ébranle son pays. Il demande la main d'Angélique, fille d'un parvenu, alors que cette union signe la défaite du blason de la famille.
