Have a little read: ... De Bernieres describes History as 'Hearsay tempered with myth and hazy memory.' How does the author present historical fact within the novel? An interpretation of a person or event is an opinion based on evidence. The same evidence can be used to support many different interpretations, which often results in diversity and conflicting views between historians. In the novel 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin', de Bernières offers his interpretation of the events in Cephallonia during World War Two. As Dr Iannis quickly discovers when writing his 'New History of Cephallonia', "it seemed to be impossible to write it without the intrusion of his own feelings and prejudices". De Bernières faced a similar challenge when writing 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin', yet this is unsurprising as no historian can claim to be objective; they are all a product of their times and their beliefs will be shaped by their education, social background, political sympathies and current world
