In the scorching heat of Seville, passion becomes destiny.
Don José is a dutiful soldier, bound by honor and discipline-until he encounters Carmen, a captivating and fiercely independent Romani woman who answers to no one. Drawn into her intoxicating world of freedom and danger, he abandons everything: his duty, his future, his very soul.
But Carmen belongs to no man. As Don José's obsession deepens into jealous fury, their volatile romance spirals toward an inevitable and devastating climax.
Prosper Mérimée's electrifying novella-the inspiration for Bizet's legendary opera-is a timeless exploration of desire, jealousy, and the fatal consequences of trying to possess what refuses to be tamed. Set against the vivid backdrop of nineteenth-century Spain, Carmen remains one of literature's most powerful tales of love and destruction.
