Les frères corses (1874)
Les frères corses is a 1874 French-language twins book written by Alexandre Dumas.
"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."--Inside cover.
