{"product_id":"steven-price-lampedusa","title":"Steven Price: Lampedusa","description":"In the Sicily of the 1950s, still haunted by memories of Fascism and the war, the last Prince of Lampedusa, Giuseppe Tomasi, struggles to complete his only novel, The Leopard.\n\nTomasi is a veteran of the previous war, while his wife Alessandra is living in exile after her native Latvia is absorbed into the Soviet Union. The childless couple are survivors of a vanishing world of European aristocracy, living in the present, yet nostalgic for the decadent past. Diagnosed with advanced emphysema and with a profound awareness of his doomed lineage, the prince begins working on a novel. When The Leopard is posthumously published, it is to much acclaim; it will come to be considered the greatest Italian novel of the century.\n\nAchingly haunting, Lampedusa tells the story of a man's awakening to the possibilities of life as he nears its end.","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53082619412796,"sku":"v54v8dpedttjxiouzcli0q8f","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3468\/5756\/files\/9781529019650-1.jpg?v=1779585972","url":"https:\/\/knizhka.us\/products\/steven-price-lampedusa","provider":"Книжка US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
