The Corsican Brothers (French: Les Frères corses) is a novella by Alexandre Dumas, first published in 1844.
It is the story of two conjoined brothers who, although separated at birth, can still feel each other's physical distress.
In March 1841, the narrator travels to Corsica and stays at the home of the widow Savilia de Franchi, who lives near Olmeto and Sollacaro.
Louis is a lawyer in Paris, while Lucien clings to his Corsican roots and stays at his mother's home.
The brothers were separated at birth by a doctor with his scalpel, but Louis and Lucien can feel each other's emotions, even at a distance.
