Carmen by Prosper Mérimée

"Carmen" by Prosper Mérimée is a novella written and first published in 1845. In the lonely hills of Andalusia, a scholar meets a notorious outlaw named Don José, who tells the tale of his tragic downfall. His story revolves around Carmen, a captivating Romani woman whose fierce independence and refusal to be tamed leads to jealousy, violence, and death. This dark narrative of passion and fate later inspired Bizet's famous opera. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
