The Last Leopard: A Life of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa is a biography of the Italian writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, written by the English historian David Gilmour.[1][2] It was published by Quartet Books in 1988.[3]
Herbert Mitgang of The New York Times described the book as well-researched and fascinating. He wrote that its only flaw is that it "avoids any real critical judgment of Lampedusa's dilettantism, his approval of Mussolini's military adventures, and his desire for a revival of the moribund Italian monarchy".[4] The book received the 1989 Marsh Biography Award.[3]
