"Wanderings in Corsica: Its History and Its Heroes. Vol. 1 of 2" by Ferdinand Gregorovius is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the complex and rich history of Corsica, focusing on its various rulers, cultural developments, and notable figures, particularly the legendary Sampiero, who emerges as a significant hero in the narrative. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his journey to Corsica, drawn by its enigmatic landscapes and the stories of its people. He admits to becoming engrossed in the island's history and cultural heritage, presenting early insights that reveal Corsica’s past of diverse influences from ancient Greeks and Romans to its struggles against foreign domination. The opening chapters discuss the early colonial history of the island and introduce key historical events and figures that paved the way for Corsica's identity, setting up a narrative that promises to intertwine history with the legendary heroism of its inhabitants.
