The classic of world literature - Lampedusa's "The Leopard" is newly translated and brilliantly adapted into audio form. Exactly sixty years after its first publication in Germany, "The Leopard" has lost none of its relevance and continues to captivate audiences to this day. Now, the classic of modern Italian literature is being released in a stunning new translation. With melancholic irony, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, inspired by his own family history, depicts the decline of the Sicilian noble family of Don Fabrizio, Prince of Salina. The old order is in danger: Tancredi, the prince's nephew and adopted son, marries the bourgeois yet seductive Angelica – signaling the end of feudal rule.
