message: Is there not a better picture of the front cover? The colours are really strange and it's a bit pixellated (I'm a bit of a newbie and haven't worked out pictures yet!) Rocket71048576 22:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

the book it is inspired is : The White Flag by Marcello Venturi published in 1967
:see Guardian article for info on relationship with The White Flag and with Amos Pampaloni, on whose story Venturi's book was based.  Also Athens News article which mentions the documentary Are you Captain Corelli?  --PeterR 23:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: My book is just called Corelli's Mandolin, not Captain. What is the correct name? Shouldn't we mention the alternate name?  Benjamin Scrīptum est - Fecī 02:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The title was shortened for the U.S. edition; I don't know why. --anon.70.23.178.7 (talk) 04:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Granta from 1993 with de Bernières in, he says that he's tired of giving his novels such long titles and plans to call his next one just "Corelli's Mandolin". I don't know how this fits in, but I'm sure it's relevant :) Skittle (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding was that the book was originally published in hardback (by Secker and Warburg) as "Corelli's Mandolin" and that subsequent editions added "Captain" to match the film title. But maybe I'm wrong. Kirker (talk) 18:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Apparently both titles were used.  Could someone please sort otu which title was used when?  Thanks, Maikel (talk) 09:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I had a look around through various book-searches and libraries. The Secker and Warburg first edition (1994) cover shows "Captain Corelli's Mandolin". Various other editions over succeeding years also show "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", and many of these also pre-date the film. A Pantheon edition which claims to be the first US edition (1994) cover shows "Corelli's Mandolin", and a Vintage edition (1995) cover shows "Corelli's Mandolin: A novel". On the basis that the first edition title, and also the title by which the book is almost universally known today (2010) both in popular awareness and in reference sources, is "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", I'll adjust the article to describe the book as having this title, noting that in the US it was originally published as "Corelli's Mandolin". I think this summarises the situation fairly. If anyone can improve on this or further enlighten, please do so. Mooncow (talk) 04:05, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

text: PS -- I've also updated the release year to 1994, rather than 1993 as previously shown. The first edition is dated 1994, and various sources including the author's own web site give the book as 1994. I've included references. Mooncow (talk) 04:15, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know if this standard practice on articles about novels but at no point in this article is there really a description of the plot beyond a discussion of the main themes and characters.  While those are obviously very relevant, without a plot they would only really make sense to people who have read the book. 23.15, 17 July 2010 (BST)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.208.127 (talk) 22:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
