Synopsis

""Colomba"" is a novel written by French author Prosper M�����rim�����e. The story is set in Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and follows the character of Colomba Carabelli, a young Corsican woman seeking revenge for her family's honor. Colomba's brother, Orso, has been accused of murder and she is determined to clear his name. With her cunning and manipulative nature, Colomba sets out to prove her brother's innocence by any means necessary, even if it means resorting to violence and deception. Along the way, she forms an unlikely alliance with a Frenchman named Colonel Nevil, who is investigating the same murder case. As the two work together, they uncover a web of lies and corruption that threatens to destroy the entire community. ""Colomba"" is a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and revenge, set against the backdrop of a beautiful and rugged landscape.Now that every one is asleep--the beautiful Colomba, the colonel, and his daughter--I will seize the opportunity to acquaint my reader with certain details of which he must not be ignorant, if he desires to follow the further course of this veracious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

De sa mission d'inspection des monuments historiques en Corse, Mérimée rapporta de précieuses notes de voyage. Mais l'archéologue avouait son impuissance à exprimer le mystère de l'âme corse. Au romancier de prendre le relais : mieux que le traité savant dont elle tirait sa substance, la fiction savait recréer une Corse éternelle dans toute sa vérité, èvritant avec ironie les lieux communs trop abondants d'une couleur locale à l'usage des touristes. Sous le regard de bandits, de bergers et d'une belle Irlandaise, Orso, en héros tragique, est déchiré entre le respect de la justice et la nécessité de la vendetta, soumis aux forces archaïques que déchaîne, telle une moderne Electre, sa soeur, la belle Colomba, jeteuse de sorts et voceratrice sublime.
