"Get away from here before you're completely bewitched
and enslaved..." Dorothy Carrington (1910 - 2002)
was told. But enslaved she was. She arrived in Corsica in 1948 as an English historian. She
stayed. She was very interested in Corsican society, Corsican culture. In 1991 she was awarded a doctorat
honoris causa by the University of Corse. She lived and worked in Ajaccio. She also had
a very special friendship with I Muvrini. |

"Chère Dorothy Carrington Vous êtes un peu partie Comme si désormais
vous écriviez derrière une autre porte dans un temps qui n'est plus le nôtre mais òu l'on sera toujours libres de vous imaginer." |
TerraCorsa is very proud and grateful that Dorothy Carrington and later on her heiress,
has given so kindly and willingly her personal permission
to Yvonne Peters to publish from her books, also on this
website.
If you like to enter the mystical world of Corsica, TerraCorsa proposes several legends and studies:
»The Asphodel Sacred, restorative, beloved of the dead, the asphodel became a symbol
of Corsica.
»Tradition of the Cumparaggiu The Midsummer Festival of Saint John the Baptist
»The cult of the Virgin Mary
| To give you an impression of the fascinating book Dorothy Carrington wrote in 1995: The Dream-Hunters of Corsica (French Edition in 2000: Mazzeri, Finzioni, Signadori) I will tell you something about the most important subjects: | ||
