Why read it?
1 author picked Boswell's Correspondence With the Honourable Andrew Erskine, and His Journal of a Tour to Corsica as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If you’re thinking of holidaying in Corsica this book is a must read.
Written in 1767, the Scottish writer James Boswell copes with brigands, poor food, rough roads, and an impossibly wild countryside to meet the great Corsican republican leader Pasquale Paoli. Their encounter is every bit as fascinating as Boswell’s friendship with Samuel Johnson, the dictionary writer.
Corsica today is much friendlier, but still has dense forests, and high mountains, as well as the most stunning beaches in the world and gourmet food. I stayed in beautiful Calvi, Corsica in July 2023 (I am not a travel agent!).
