Studies In Corsica Sylvan And Social

A study of vendetta and banditry, applying insights from the field of social anthropology.

The women of Corsica are as remarkable and extraordinary as everything else about this unique Mediterranean island.

Here they are, wives and warriors, saints, spies and seductresses, poets, painters, patriots and bandits.
