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.
