| Summary | "Pasquale Paoli; ossia, la rotta di Ponte Nuovo" by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around themes of liberty and patriotism, particularly focusing on the figure of Pasquale Paoli and his significance in Corsican history. Through witty dialogues and engaging characters, the book illustrates the struggles against tyranny and the quest for freedom. At the start of the novel, we encounter Giacomo Boswell, an English gentleman, who, frustrated by the rain and difficult journey to Livorno, expresses his disdain for the weather in Italy. He interacts humorously with his vetturino, offering insight into his character—he is curious, cynical, and reflective on issues related to human dignity and poverty. Upon arriving at his destination, Boswell's character unfolds further through his encounters with locals, showing his deep interest in the plight of Corsica and its pursuit of freedom, particularly through his conversations about General Paoli. These initial interactions set the stage for an exploration of themes central to the Corsican struggle for independence and illuminate the interplay of different cultures and perspectives in the historical narrative.
