What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first impression of the first English language edition, translated from the original Italian by Archibald Colquhoun. In the publisher's original vibrantly illustrated price unclipped dust wrapper.
Considered one of the greatest Italian novels of the twentieth century, and the highest selling novel in Italian history.
The novel follows Sicilian Prince Don Fabrizio during Garibaldi's invasion of Sicily, and the subsequent annexation of the island by the Kingdom of Italy. The novel explores the tensions between the old aristocracy and the rising bourgeoisie, and the changing relationship between the Church and state.
