- More about Carmen: Accompanied by another famous novella by Merimee, The Venus of Ille
Don José, a Basque dragoon, is captivated by Carmen, a Gypsy woman, and is drawn into a seedy world of smugglers, robbers, and jealousy. This 1846 story by Prosper Mérimées has been adapted into numerous dramatic works, including the famous 1875 opera by Georges Bizet.

Publisher: Alma Books Ltd
When Don José, a Basque dragoon, encounters a Gypsy woman at the factory he is guarding, he is immediately captivated by her charms. After she is arrested for injuring a co-worker and he assists her in fleeing, he is imprisoned and demoted, but she repays him at their next meeting with a day of excess and a night of love. As Carmen continues to exert her spell, José is dragged further and further into a seedy world of smugglers, robbers, fiery passions, and uncontrollable jealousy – one that he will find difficult to escape alive. Carmen, the archetype of the amoral femme fatale, is Prosper Mérimée's highest creation, and a model for many subsequent literary heroines. First published in 1846, this story of crime and desire – here accompanied by another famous novella by Mérimée, The Venus of Ille – has been adapted into numerous dramatic works, including the famous 1875 opera of the same name by Georges Bizet.
