Carmen

A chance meeting with a notorious outlaw on a dusty Spanish road leads a French traveler into a world of passion, betrayal, and violence. The outlaw, Don José, recounts his fateful obsession with the fiery gypsy Carmen—a woman who cannot be tamed, loves freely, and lives by her own rules. Their love affair spirals from seduction to jealousy, from the mountains of the smugglers to the bullring of Seville, ending in a tragedy that has echoed through the ages. This modern retelling preserves the raw intensity of Prosper Mérimée's classic novella, translating its 19th-century prose into vivid, natural English for today's reader. Experience the unforgettable story of the woman who would rather die than surrender her freedom. Part of Timeless Classics.
