The Professor and the Siren (New York Review Books Classics)

An NYRB Classics Original

In the last two years of his life, the Sicilian aristocrat Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa wrote not only the internationally celebrated novel The Leopard but also three shorter pieces of fiction, brought together here in a new translation.

â€œThe Professor and the Siren,â€ like The Leopard, meditates on the past and the passage of time, and also on the relationship between erotic love and learning. Professor La Ciura is one of the worldâ€™s most distinguished Hellenists; his knowledge, however, came at the cost of a loss that has haunted him for his entire life. This Lampedusaâ€™s final masterpiece, is accompanied here by the parable â€œJoy and the Lawâ€ and â€œThe Blind Kittens,â€ a story originally conceived as the first chapter of a followup to The Leopard.
