Every Chapter, In Order

Corsica and Paris, 1841 — twin brothers, a vendetta, and a bond that distance cannot break, in twenty chapters.

The first half of these twenty chapters, narrated by Dumas himself as a traveler, is set entirely in Corsica and grounds the story in true local vendetta custom; the second half shifts to Paris for the fatal duel the whole novella has been building toward. See the full overview page, or this site's piece on the real Corsican vendetta tradition Dumas draws on throughout.
