Summary "Rambles in the Islands of Corsica and Sardinia" by Thomas Forester is a travel account written in the mid-19th century. This work offers readers an exploration of the picturesque landscapes, rich histories, and cultural peculiarities of the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia, providing insights into the author's experiences and observations. Forester’s narrative likely aims to remedy a lack of detailed English literature on these regions, blending personal anecdotes with historical context. At the start of the book, Forester shares his motivations for embarking on a journey to Corsica and Sardinia, reflecting on past influences and early impressions of these islands. He discusses his desire to engage with their unique cultures and natural beauty, alongside the thrill of potential adventures such as hunting moufflons. The author sets the tone for his expedition, describing the allure of Corsica’s romantic scenery and hinting at the colorful complexities of its inhabitants. The opening is rich with the anticipation of travel, touching on themes of exploration and human connection, as Forester prepares for a journey into largely uncharted territory for English travelers of his time.
