El invierno de los leones : la saga de los Florio, los reyes sin corona de Sicilia / by Auci, Stefania,author.(CARDINAL)833791; Palma, César,translator.(CARDINAL)832390;
"El invierno de los leones es el triunfo y el trágico declive de los Florio, la poderosa dinastía de Los leones de Sicilia, el mayor éxito editorial de los últimos años en Italia. Para los Florio los tiempos de humillación y miseria son solo un recuerdo lejano. Hoy, la ciudad entera los admira, los honra y los teme. Ignacio, el heredero, por el contrario, no teme a nadie. Sabe que el destino de la saga está en sus manos y quiere extender su poder más allá de Sicilia, influir en la política que se hace en Roma y dominar el Mediterráneo. Por estas aspiraciones Ignacio renunció a un amor que habría trastocado su futuro, un amor cuya sombra no le abandonará nunca. Su hijo Ignazziddu, en cambio, sí tiene miedo. Recibe el legado familiar con apenas veinte años, pero no está dispuesto a sacrificarse por la familia, a ser esclavo de su linaje. Intenta tomar las riendas del imperio, pero se enfrenta a un mundo cambiante, agitado por fuerzas nuevas e incontrolables que acabarán mostrándole que no basta solo con tener la sangre de los Florio para imponerse, para triunfar. Necesita algo que tenían su padre y su abuelo, pero que a él le falta. ¿Cuál ha sido su error? Este padre y este hijo, tan diferentes, tendrán a su lado a dos mujeres también muy distintas: Giovanna, la esposa de Ignazio, dura y frágil como el cristal, llena de pasión y hambrienta de amor, y Franca, esposa de Ignazziddu, la mujer más bella de Europa, cuya dorada existencia sufrirá los golpes de un destino cruel. Estas dos mujeres serán las verdaderas representantes de la historia exaltada y terrible, gloriosa y trágica de los leones de Sicilia." --
