Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a novel by British author Louis de Bernières originally published in 1994. A romance story set in World War II background, this book captures couple of themes besides love, such as music (as reflected by the tile), war, totalitarianism, heroism, and villainy. The story of Captain Antonio Corelli and Pelagia has inspired many adaptations in various media (radio, film, and theatre), but the most famous is probably Nicholas Cage’s movie with the same title as the novel.
