Carmen is the most famous novella of French author Prosper Merimee,
it formed the basis of the composer Bizet's acclaimed opera of the
same name, and is presented here in hardcover. The titular Carmen
is a Romani woman of astounding beauty, attracting many would-be
suitors and romantic partners with both her physical charms and
intense knowledge of fortune telling. The fast-paced and
high-blooded drama combines lustful romance with tragedy, whereby
jealousy and anger combine to form three episodes fitfully
cascading with tension. The final part of the book is a
non-fictional account of the Romani people, with whom Merimee held
a fascination. It was through study of the customs and practices of
the Romani that he wrote this book, which itself became a scholarly
source as well as the inspiration for Bizet's world famous operatic
composition.
