The Corsican Brothers
Translated by Henry Frith
"The Corsican Brothers" by Alexandre Dumas is a novella published in 1844. It tells the story of Louis and Lucien de Franchi, twin brothers who were conjoined at birth and separated by a surgeon's scalpel. Despite living separate lives—one as a Parisian lawyer, the other rooted in Corsica—they share an extraordinary bond that allows them to feel each other's emotions and physical pain across any distance. When Lucien must mediate a dangerous family vendetta, their supernatural connection becomes increasingly significant.
