An amazing in-depth study of a language's survival.
A sad yet fascinating in-depth study of France's arrogant attempts to bring "Francite'" to a very non-French culture. The survival and revival of the Corse language will make you glad, the reality of the social benefits of speaking French will make you sad. A very good read. Highly recommend!

Highly engaging and difficult to put down.
I found this book at a Library sale. I had never heard of the author. I now want to read all his books. This starts out in early 1930's and takes you up through 1960's. It follows the life of a Corsican man Bounaparte Sartene. A thoughly enjoyable book. Unfortunately not in print.

A Pleasant Surprise!
As The Corsican Brothers is one of Dumas' less popular works (I'm not sure if I should call it a novella or a short story), I expected it to be fairly dry: either very historical or very travel-oriented. It IS travel-oriented, and one CAN see the travel writer incarnation of Dumas, but it is far from boring and does not lack for interesting characters. The brothers may not have the relentless ...
