Book presentation: Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, A Biography Through Images
"Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, A Biography Through Images": Book presentation and conversation with the author Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi. Written by Lampedusa's cousin and heir, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, this new illustrated biography - which includes a wealth of unpublished pictures from Lampedusa's private albums and documents from his family archive, as well as a foreword by Lampedusa biographer David Gilmour - explores all the people and places that were dear to the great Sicilian master and are essential for a fuller understanding of his work. Addicts of The Leopard will lap up this limpid translation and these superb photographs. Another imaginative triumph by Alma Books. (A.N.
