Unlock the more straightforward side of The Leopard with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa, which tells the story of the Salina family and their changing place in Sicilian society. The novel presents a sharply critical view of 19th century Sicilian society and, with the help of historical events and figures, charts the fall of the aristocracy and the rise of the bourgeoisie. First released in 1958, The Leopard had a long road to success: it was rejected by two major publishing companies before eventually being published. The author, Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa, was born in Palermo in 1896 to an aristocratic family. His first and only novel, The Leopard, was not published until after his death, and so he never saw its success and eventual status as the top-selling novel in Italian history.
