Giuseppe di Lampedusa
Two Stories and a Memory

First printing of the English translation.
With a meditation from E. M. Forster, by way of an introduction, this book is required reading for those under the spell of The Leopard, di Lampedusa's only novel.
Themes of loss and longing for times past haunted his life and provided the raw emotion behind his delicate writing.
With photographs of some of the beautiful houses that inspired the work.
