Carmen

Credits: Prosper Mérimée (author)

Summary

Prosper Merimee's 1845 novella, the source of the opera, tells of an antiquarian who meets the bandit Don Jose and the gypsy Carmen in Andalusia. A reader finds a short, fierce tale of love and jealousy. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
