Mandolina kapetana Cornellija

Mandolina kapetana Cornellija

Louis de Bernieres

The novel deals with themes of love, loyalty, sacrifice and the consequences of war, showing how conflict destroys communities but also reveals the strength of the human spirit.

The novel is a historical romance drama set on the Greek island of Kefalonia during World War II. The novel interweaves love, war, history, and culture, with elements of humor and tragedy, creating a rich tapestry of human destinies. The story follows Pelagia, the intelligent and strong daughter of a local doctor, Iannis, who falls in love with Antonio Corelli, a charismatic Italian captain who arrives on the island in 1941 as part of the occupying forces. Corelli, a passionate musician who plays the mandolin, differs from the stereotypical soldier with his humanity and love of life. Their relationship develops amidst the tensions of war, the conflict between Greek partisans and the occupiers, and cultural differences. Pelagia's fiancé, Mandras, a fisherman who joins the resistance, further complicates her feelings.
