"The Corsican Brothers" is a novella written by Alexandre Dumas, père, and was
first published in 1844. The story revolves around two conjoined brothers,
Louis and Lucien, who were separated at birth but can still feel each other's
physical distress. Louis is a lawyer in Paris, while Lucien remains in
Corsica. Lucien invites the narrator to accompany him on a mission to mediate
a vendetta between two families. The novella has been adapted numerous times
for the stage and film. The first adaptation was a play by Dion Boucicault in
1852. There have been several film adaptations, including one in 1898 directed
by George Albert Smith and one in 1941 starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The
concept of the Corsican Brothers has also been referenced in popular culture,
such as in the G.I. Joe series and the TV show Warehouse 13.
