Ricardo Pochtar Book order (chronological)

From the atmospheric recollections of the Palazzo Lampedusa in Palermo at the turn of the twentieth century in 'Childhood Memories' to the delightful fantasy 'The Professor and the Siren', from the gently humorous, bittersweet tones of 'Joy and the Law' to 'The Blind Kittens', this volume showcases Lampedusa's unparalleled narrative skills.

A 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.
