Carmen

Carmen is Prosper Mérimée’s spare, sun-struck novella of Spain, in which a traveller’s curiosity leads him to Don José and to the story of a woman who will not be owned. Passion, jealousy and the clash between military duty and a fierce independence drive the tale. It is the seed of Bizet’s famous opera, yet on the page it remains leaner, drier and more dangerous.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Prosper Mérimée’s sun-struck narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the fatal romantic allure of Carmen in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
