Book Description |
|
The Corsican Brothers by Alexandre Dumas is a novella that blends adventure, the supernatural, and revenge. The story follows twin brothers, Louis and Lucien de Franchi, who are born conjoined but separated at birth. Though they live apart—Louis in Paris as a refined gentleman and Lucien in Corsica as a traditional Corsican noble—their bond remains strong, almost mystical, as they can feel each other’s emotions and pain across great distances. When Louis is killed in a duel orchestrated by his enemies, Lucien, bound by the Corsican code of honor, seeks revenge. He travels to Paris to avenge his brother’s death, leading to a dramatic and fatal confrontation. This short yet gripping tale explores themes of fate, family bonds, and the clash between civilized society and Corsican traditions. It remains one of Dumas’ most intriguing and emotionally charged stories. |
