Features: Mérimée has entered the ranks of the greats with only over ten short stories such as Carmen, Cora, and Venus of Ille, which must have his unique insights. Just consider Carmen—as soon as it was published in 1847, it became a classic; and when Bizet adapted it into the opera Carmen, it became one of the classics of Western opera, enduring performances to this day, achieving success in both literature and theater. This book tells an exciting and mysterious love story. It portrays a striking and memorable female character. Carmen possesses a strong and stubborn personality. She refuses to follow social conventions and moral norms but insists on her own unique moral standards, pursuing an independent and free life.
