Carmen

By Prosper Mérimée, Prosper Merima, Proper Merimee Alphonse Daudet, Antoine Francois Prevost

Book Overview

Prosper M rim e's Carmen tells the unforgettable story of Don Jos , an honorable soldier whose world shatters the moment he encounters Carmen-a fiery, untameable Romani woman who lives by her own rules. What begins as a dangerous attraction spirals into an all-consuming passion that will cost him everything: his career, his honor, and ultimately his soul.

Set against the vivid backdrop of 19th-century Spain, this gripping novella explores the intoxicating power of desire and the tragic consequences of obsession. Carmen is literature's original femme fatale-seductive, independent, and utterly unwilling to be possessed. She dances through the pages with a vitality that has captivated readers for over 150 years and inspired Bizet's legendary opera.

M rim e's prose is sharp, atmospheric, and psychologically penetrating, taking us deep into the heart of a man unraveling. This is a story about the clash between duty and desire, convention and wildness, love and destruction.
