The Leopard

A Novel

By: Giuseppe Di Lampedusa

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time. Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late fifties; he died at age sixty, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. In his introduction, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, Lampedusa's nephew, gives us a detailed history of the initial publication and the various editions that followed. And he includes passages Lampedusa wrote for the book that were omitted by the original Italian editors. Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel. (Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun.)

The Professor and the Siren

By: Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa

An NYRB Classics Original In the last two years of his life, the Sicilian aristocrat Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa wrote not only the internationally celebrated novel The Leopard but also three shorter pieces of fiction, brought together here in a new translation. “The Professor and the Siren,” like The Leopard, meditates on the past and the passage of time, and also on the relationship between erotic love and learning. Professor La Ciura is one of the world’s most distinguished Hellenists; his knowledge, however, came at the cost of a loss that has haunted him for his entire life. This Lampedusa’s final masterpiece, is accompanied here by the parable “Joy and the Law” and “The Blind Kittens,” a story originally conceived as the first chapter of a followup to The Leopard.

The Leopard

Introduction by David Gilmour

By: Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa

SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES • “A majestic, melancholy, and beautiful novel” (The New Yorker), THE LEOPARD is one of the best-selling Italian novels of the twentieth century and an acclaimed masterpiece of world literature. This beautiful hardcover edition, translated by Archibald Colquhoun, also includes two short stories and a brief memoir of the author’s childhood. Set in Sicily in the 1860s, during the tumult of Italian unification, THE LEOPARD tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, fading aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of revolution and democracy. Its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, who was the last in a line of Sicilian princes, wrote the novel in the 1950s, inspired by the decline of his own family. Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, remains skeptical and stoic as he finds himself beset by civil war, social change, and his family’s loss of wealth and status. While his beloved nephew, Tancredi, more practical and flexible than he, joins the nationalist rebels and marries the ambitious daughter of a newly rich upstart, Don Fabrizio takes refuge in his love of astronomy, gazing at the unchanging stars while the world as he has known it crumbles around him. The dramatic sweep and richness of Lampedusa’s observation, his seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and his sure grasp of human frailty imbue THE LEOPARD with its melancholy beauty and power. “No novel in Italian literature has aroused so much passion or caused so much argument… The book is more than the memorable invocation of a certain place in a certain epoch. It is a work of art that will survive, long after the last sad palaces of Palermo have gone, because it deals with the central problems of the human experience.” —from the Introduction by David Gilmour "The genius of its author and the thrill it gives the reader are probably for all time."—The New York Times Book Review "A masterwork . . . A superb novel in the great tradition and the grand manner."—Newsweek Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

Sonnets

By: Gioachino Giuseppe Belli

Writing clandestine sonnets in local dialect for over fifteen years whilst leading a respectably conformist life of letters and bureaucracy, Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli erected a lasting poetical monument to the people of nineteenth-century Rome. Set against the chequered background of the city of the six Ps - Pope, priests, princes, prostitutes, parasites and the poor - Belli's sometimes scandalous sonnets deal with life's elementals: love, death, sex, food, money, family, religion and politics. In his immense oeuvre, sampled here in a sizeable and varied selection of the best poems, people from every course and manner of life have their say - housewives, mothers, beggars, lovers, businessmen, popes, whores, doctors, thieves, lawyers, priests, penpushers, actresses, gossips and many more. Their voices and preoccupations are brilliantly and accurately rendered in this volume by Mike Stocks, one of the finest sonneteers of our day.

Truth and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis

Truth and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis

By: Giuseppe Civitarese

What is the truth of the unconscious? Truth and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis explores the intersection of these two concepts within a Bionian framework. Giuseppe Civitarese maps out the unconscious in psychoanalysis, and focuses on the differences between the Freudian, Kleinian, Bionian and Lacanian schools of thought on this topic, as well as drawing on findings from neuroscience. The book explores topics including the inaccessibility of the unconscious, dreams, body issues, issues of personality, the influence of field theory and the clinical implications of this theorising. It contains innovative comparison between Freudian metapsychology and the Bionian theory on thinking, and novel use of Bion's hallucinosis as an important new technical tool. An internationally recognised author, Civitarese provides fresh ideas throughout on a challenging subject, supported with vivid clinical material. Truth and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis will be of interest to anyone following the growing post-Bionian movement within contemporary psychoanalysis, enabling them to familiarize themselves with some of the most important current issues in psychoanalytic research. Truth and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis will appeal to psychotherapists, psychologists and psychoanalysts, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students studying in the field.

The Italian Legal System

An Introduction, Second Edition

By: Michael A. Livingston,Pier Giuseppe Monateri,Francesco Parisi

For fifty years, the first edition of The Italian Legal System has been the gold standard among English-language works on the Italian legal system. The book's original authors, Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, and Joseph M. Perillo, provided not only an overview of Italian law, but a definition of the field, together with an important contribution to the general literature on comparative law. The book explains the unique "Italian style" in doctrine, law, and interpretation and includes an extremely well-written introduction to Italian legal history, government, the legal profession, and civil procedure and evidence. In this fully-updated and revised second edition, authors Michael A. Livingston, Pier Giuseppe Monateri, and Francesco Parisi describe the substantial changes in Italian law and society in the intervening five decades—including the creation and impact of the European Union, as well as important advances in comparative law methodology. The second edition poses timely, relevant questions of whether and to what extent the unique Italian style of law has survived the pressures of European unification, American influence, and the globalization of law and society in the intervening period. The Italian Legal System, Second Edition is an important and stimulating resource for those with specific interest in Italy and those with a more general interest in comparative law and the globalization process.

A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis

A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis

By: Giuseppe Civitarese,Antonino Ferro

The science of psychoanalysis is now more than a century old. During this period, it has been established as the instrument offering the most profound understanding of the human mind, and as the most effective tool for treating psychic suffering we have at our disposal. A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis offers readers an introduction to this extraordinarily interesting discipline. In this short volume, Giuseppe Civitarese and Antonino Ferro explore psychoanalysis, which is at the same time a theory of unconscious psychic processes, a technique for investigating these, and a method for curing various forms of psychic suffering, by explaining some of its main themes and ideas. As the only introductory text to the increasingly popular post-Bionian theory of the analytic field, A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis examines the theory of dreams, the concept of the unconscious, the psychoanalytic clinic, the analysis of children and adolescents, and the history of psychoanalysis. In seeking to give a broad idea of what psychoanalysis is, what it has become, and the direction it may take in the future, this book will appeal to all those curious about this fascinating discipline, and is particularly aimed at students of psychology, the humanities, and of psychoanalytic institutes, as well as qualified psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

Relatos

By: Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa

Los relatos y recuerdos de infancia de Lampedusa. Un complemento imprescindible a El Gatopardo. Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, duque de Palma de Montechiaro y príncipe de Lampedusa, ocupa un lugar destacadísimo en la literatura del siglo XX gracias a su única novela: El Gatopardo. Un libro que es el legado universal de este aristócrata siciliano discreto y taciturno, que apenas escribió nada más. Pero en ese «apenas» tienen cabida algunos textos extraordinarios, recuperados tras el triunfo póstumo de la novela. Aparte de un puñado de cartas enviadas durante sus periplos europeos y de las lecciones literarias a un círculo de jóvenes discípulos, la restante obra literaria de Lampedusa es la que se reúne aquí bajo el título de Relatos. Son tan solo cuatro textos, conectados de algún modo –por el momento en que fueron escritos o por su tono y ambientación– con su obra maestra. Y de ahí el doble interés de estas piezas breves: por un lado iluminan la intimidad y la cocina literaria del escritor, y por el otro tienen un notabilísimo interés por sí mismas. El libro se abre con unos «Recuerdos de infancia» que son evocaciones íntimas de personajes y escenarios de un universo que es la base de El Gatopardo; sigue el conciso cuento navideño «La alegría y la ley», en el que se atisban ecos de Chéjov y Pirandello, y a continuación la que probablemente sea la pieza más impresionante de este volumen: «La sirena», relato mitológico, sensual y melancólico, que despertó la admiración entusiasta de Marguerite Yourcenar. Por último, «Los gatitos ciegos», un cuento destinado a convertirse en el primer capítulo de una segunda novela que Lampedusa no llegó a escribir. El volumen se completa con introducciones específicas a cada uno de los textos, reproducciones de manuscritos, un fragmento de una primera versión de «La sirena» y algunas fotografías. Todo este material ayuda al lector a contextualizar la escritura de cada una de las luminosas joyas literarias aquí reunidas.

Els contes

By: Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa

L'encant incomparable d'un dels més grans escriptors del segle XX europeu, ara en una nova edició. Ens els dos intensíssims últims anys de la seva vida (1955-1957), Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa va escriure no tan sols El Gattopardo sinó també tres contes i una peça autobiogràfica. No ha estat fins fa poc, però, gràcies a la troballa de diversos manuscrits originals, que s'han pogut editar amb tot el rigor que mereixen. El present volum s'obre amb «Records d'infantesa», escrit l'estiu del 1955 i que constitueix unes petites memòries. I el segueix «L'alegria de la llei», un breu apòleg de to i mesura perfectes. Ara bé, el conte més cèlebre del recull és «La sirena»: la història del vell professor La Ciura, que de jove va conèixer l'amor de la sirena i no el va poder oblidar mai. Tanca el llibre «Els gatets cecs», dels tres contes el més proper a la matèria d' El Gattopardo i que sembla que podia ser el començament d'una altra novel·la. Realitat i ficció, història i mite i literatura, de la mà del finíssim observador i incomparable estilista que era Tomasi di Lampedusa, fan d'aquest llibre evocador una delícia. Introduccions de Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi. Edició revisada i ampliada a cura de Nicoletta Polo.

Byron

By: Giuseppe TOMASI DI LAMPEDUSA

À Palerme, retiré dans son palais, l’auteur du Guépard aimait à donner des conférences privées devant un public choisi. Principalement consacrées aux écrivains anglais, elles furent publiées après sa mort. Lampedusa s’y dévoile comme un fabuleux conteur, plein d’humour et d'érudition. L’essai qu’il consacra à Lord Byron compte parmi les plus développés et les plus aboutis de ces textes.
