Description
A Vineyard by the Sea: Two Centuries in Corsica is a masterful work that immerses the reader in the rich and complex world of two families, the Landry and the Paolini, whose destinies are closely intertwined with a vineyard by the sea in Corsica. Written by Bernard Raffalli and Jacqueline Sauvageot, this book is a poignant testimony to the quest for origins and family memory.
The authors undertook meticulous research to trace the history of their respective ancestors, united by a common passion for the land of Vallelègne. Bernard Raffalli and Jacqueline Sauvageot relied on authentic sources such as diaries, correspondence, account books, portraits, and photographs to bring the members of their families, the Landry and the Paolini, back to life. These documents allowed them to resurrect the violent passion that drove these two clans, one Swiss and the other Corsican, both in love with the same vineyard.
The book depicts a difficult love, almost tragic, between a harsh Corsica, with almost Roman severity, and an idealistic continent, fascinated by this unique land. Through the pages, the members of the Landry and Paolini families fight, love, tear each other apart, but remain obsessed with the fear of being misunderstood or unloved.
A Vineyard by the Sea is not just a family story; it is also a profound reflection on collective memory, the attachment to a chosen land, and the concept of a lost paradise. Each page takes us deeper into history, bringing us closer to the men and women who forged, often in pain, a unique identity, that of a vineyard by the sea, a symbol of eternal and conflicted love between Corsica and the continent.
The book stands out for its documentary richness and emotional depth, offering the reader an intimate journey through two centuries of family and regional history.
