Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières
On the small Greek island of Kefalonia, life goes on as usual, despite the Second World War raging. The village's self-taught doctor, Dr. Iannis, cures all sorts of ailments between coffee breaks. His seventeen-year-old daughter Pelagia runs the household and tries to keep the goat from eating her father's books.
But then the Italians occupy the island, and the military is housed with the reluctant locals. Captain Corelli and his mandolin end up with the doctor and Pelagia. Despite being part of the occupying forces, Corelli manages to charm the island's population - especially the young Pelagia - with his music, his warmth and his humor. But the atrocities of war draw closer - and life becomes more complicated than anyone could have imagined.
A story of love and grief, friendship and betrayal, but also a devastating portrayal of the futility of war, Louis de Bernière's wide-ranging novel has become a modern classic, having been translated into seventeen languages to date.
