Join host David Hartmann and fellow Columbia alumni as the book club discusses The Leopard by Giuseppe Di Lampedusa; a selection by club member Shelia Delany. 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.
