About This Book

A historical novel that alternates close, often humorous scenes of everyday life—such as an English traveler’s blunt encounter with a Livornese coachman and vivid portraits of local manners—with sweeping accounts of political and military events affecting Corsican affairs. Narrative episodes and reflective passages are interwoven with discussions of institutional power, naval and land engagements, and the social costs of conflict, creating a blend of character sketches, local color, and commentary on honor, duty, and the tensions between private lives and public struggles.
