Paoli #2

The second part of this Corsican-language historical series brings Pasquale Paoli to vivid life, with Bertocchini and Rückstühl's cover depicting the statesman in 18th-century blue coat, clutching a red book to his chest against a dramatic coastal backdrop of smoke and silhouetted figures. The subtitle u Babbu di a patria — "the Father of the Fatherland" — frames this as a story of identity and conviction as much as history. Published in 2009 by DCL éditions, this Lingua Corsa edition is a striking tribute to one of Europe's most compelling Enlightenment figures.
