This work delves into the fierce cultural practice of vendetta among the Corsican people, characterized by themes of blood feuds and a deep sense of honor. Through vivid examples, it explores how personal disputes often escalate into lasting family rivalries, intertwining justice with the harsh realities of self-administered revenge. The opening of "Vengeances Corses" sets the stage by discussing the concept of vendetta as a fundamental aspect of Corsican identity and social structure. It cites historical observations and proverbs, establishing how deeply ingrained the instinct for vengeance is within the Corsican spirit. The text introduces various anecdotes to illustrate how seemingly trivial incidents—like a quarrel over a lost rooster—can trigger extensive cycles of retribution spanning generations. Through these examples, it becomes clear that this study not only sheds light on historical vendetta practices but also contemplates broader questions of justice, honor, and societal dynamics in Corsican life.
