Editing Captain Corelli's Mandolin (section)

==Reception==
The ''[[Orlando Sentinel]]'' called ''Corelli's Mandolin'' a "radically traditionalist" novel, "a good nourishing tale full of true things, historical and psychological, spiced with opinion and contrariness, with not one dollop of regard for artistic fashion."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1994/11/09/mandolin-arrives-via-old-literary-ways/|title='Mandolin' Arrives Via Old Literary Ways|newspaper=tribunedigital-orlandosentinel|access-date=2016-12-26|archive-date=26 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161226145951/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1994-11-09/lifestyle/9411070535_1_corelli-mandolin-soldier-novel|url-status=live}}</ref>

The ''[[The Plain Dealer|Cleveland Plain Dealer]]'' praised the multiple emotional levels of the novel, remarking, "Like [[Giacomo Puccini|Puccini]], de Bernières can evoke golden narrative, full of both pain and gladness."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Targett|first1=Bob|title=WORLD WAR II SAGA SET ON GREEK ISLE HAS OPERATIC SWEEP|work=[[The Plain Dealer]]|date=10 December 1995}}</ref>

Gene Hyde wrote, "To defy [[Sisyphus]] and rebel against the absurd, especially in the face of war, is an excruciatingly difficult and noble task. The beauty of Bernières' unique and deeply moving novel is his insistence that our hope lies in these seemingly quixotic impulses."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hyde|first1=Gene|title=THE INVINCIBLE POWER OF HUMANITARIAN IMPULSES|work=[[News & Record]]|date=26 February 1995}}</ref>
