Riassunto

Colomba is a novel written by French author Prosper Merimee. The story is set in Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and follows the life of a young woman named Colomba, who is determined to avenge her family's honor after her father was murdered by a rival clan. Colomba is a strong-willed and intelligent woman, who uses her wit and cunning to manipulate those around her and achieve her goals. Along the way, she meets a Frenchman named Orso, who has come to Corsica to escape his troubled past. Orso and Colomba become close, but their relationship is complicated by the feud between their families. The novel explores themes of honor, revenge, and love, and provides a vivid portrait of Corsican society and culture in the 19th century.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
