Quando vuoi fare un regalo e non hai un'idea precisa di cosa regalare, bisognerebbe donare un libro. Non c'è bisogno di una ricorrenza specifica: è sempre bello donare un libro. Veicola sempre un messaggio, un'idea, un sogno. Peccato che ogni volta che regalo un libro, il più delle volte la gente si incazzi...

If you want to make a gift and you have no idea about what to buy, well donating a book it's always a good choice. It's no necessary to wait for a specific occasion: it's always something good. A book materializes messages, ideas, dreams. Yet anytime I give a book as a gift in the majority of cases, people tend to get angry...

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa: "The Leopard"


This is one of the most beautiful, relevant and important work in the italian literature. This is a fascinating romance having in the background Italy after its recent unity whose features and contraddictions are still alive. About the "modernity" of this book it has written a lot as well as about its most famous citation: "nothing must change if something has to change".

A romance never boring whose reading is really exciting.

I think that this is one of the rare work in the italian literature with a real international dimension.
