The second title for the MurdockMan Book Club In Association with Vintage has arrived!
First published in 1958, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard is a great chronicle of the changes in Sicilian life and society during the Risorgimento.
'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.'
The book has been hailed by E. M. Forster as 'One of the great lonely books…not a historical novel, but a novel which happens to take place in history’ and will be available to read in all Murdock branches as of next week.
We will also have one copy to win for the MurdockMan who sends us the best review on Twitter with the hashtag: #murdockmanbookclub, so get reading!
