Revenge after a cruel injustice it constantly in the works of Alexandre Dumas, this I learned very well all that vibrate reading that immortal novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. But this time in The Corsican Brothers spoken of vendettas, which at that time on the island of Corsica was a whole culture.
The beginning of history and surprises, with description of Dumas is the narrator in this story is a character, so I was curious. Everything described, conveys that the writer loves Corsica and adapts quickly to life there. Quickly feel comfortable with Mrs. Savilian Franchi and his son Lucien, and engages in the history of this family. That's how he knows everything about the twin brother Lucien, Louis. The novel clearly has two distinct parts. The second part takes place when Dumas traveling alone to Paris, where he meets Louis. From there, the pace of the plot grows dramatically. Dumas had only been able to create this story of intrigue, duels, mystery ... It has its seal.
The ending is exciting, except that they devour the last pages, the tense atmosphere is impressive, and important detail of the plot will be key. So with all this, I can only say that I'm faced with another teacher over Dumas novel that I loved and recommend.
By the way, I have to say that the edition of this book is really nice, along with the cover.
"-" And since then he has repeated the appearance? "Said Lucien.
"No, but I have called quite frequently, but may God grant the purity of the child privileges which denies the corruption of man. "
" We stopped at the door Duvisme, just enough to order a case of guns, gunpowder and bullets, and then we start putting the horses trot. "
