The smartstudy® English guide to The Leopard examines the tale of Fabrizio, Prince of Salina, who in 1860 is the last of his aristocratic line, watching and waiting in his Sicilian acres as Garibaldi's landing heralds the beginning of a new order. The Leopard traces the fortunes of Prince Fabrizio and his noble Sicilian family through the turbulent times of the Risorgimento (the process of the unification of Italy) when Garibaldi landed at Marsala, in Sicily in 1860 with his thousand ‘Red Shirts’ and within three weeks had taken Palermo and the island. It is a story of nobility in retreat, struggling to maintain their standards as their estates, already diminished are threatened still further.
