When the Basque dragoon Don Jose meets a Gypsy woman at the factory
he is guarding, he is immediately ensnared by her wiles. After she
is arrested for injuring a co-worker and he helps her to flee, 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, Jose 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 Merimee'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 Merimee, The Venus of
Ille - has been adapted into a number of dramatic works, including
the famous 1875 opera of the same name by Georges Bizet.
