  • "Alexandre Dumas weaves the compelling story of Siamese twins who are separated physically but never in spirit. When one of the brothers is murdered, the other leaves Corsica for Paris to avenge the killing. Dumas brings this thrilling tale to life with his fascinating descriptions of Italy and France and his powerful portrayal of the undying love of brother for brother. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press."@en
  • "Alexandre Dumas (pere) is regarded as one of the masters of historical fiction, as evidenced by the abiding popularity of works like The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. The novel The Corsican Brothers packs plenty of action and adventure into an unusual tale about a pair of brothers who, conjoined at birth and separated soon afterwards, are able to perceive each other's physical pain."@en
  • "Kean began presenting the play in 1852. In the same hand as the annotations of two 1858 promptbooks of Kean's King Lear, and one of this play."@en
  • ""This fictional tale by Alexandre Dumas sees him travel through old Corsica, 'land of the vendetta', and take up lodgings with the widowed Mme de Franchi. Drawn into the history of the family, he learns that her twin sons, now so different in aspiration and outlook, were in fact born conjoined, and have retained the strongest of psychological bonds - whenever one feels pain, the other suffers too, no matter the distance between them. Yet while the savage Lucien, still living at home and aspiring to be 'a good Corsican', brings harmony to bickering factions, it is the peace-loving Louis, far away in Paris, who becomes embroiled in an affair of tragedy and revenge." --from inside cover."
