{"product_id":"carmen-1","title":"Merimee Prosper: Carmen [2022]","description":"When the Basque dragoon Don Jose meets a Gypsy woman at the factory he is guarding, he is immediately ensnared by her wiles. After she is arrested for injuring a co-worker and he helps her to flee, he is imprisoned and demoted, but she repays him at their next meeting with a day of excess and a night of love. As Carmen continues to exert her spell, Jose is dragged further and further into a seedy world of smugglers, robbers, fiery passions and uncontrollable jealousy - one that he will find difficult to escape alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarmen, the archetype of the amoral femme fatale, is Prosper Merimee's highest creation, and a model for many subsequent literary heroines. First published in 1846, this story of crime and desire - here accompanied by another famous novella by Merimee, The Venus of Ille - has been adapted into a number of dramatic works, including the famous 1875 opera of the same name by Georges Bizet.","brand":"Prosper Merimee \u0026 Brown, Andrew","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47064539234643,"sku":"9781847498977","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/prosper-merimee-brown-andrew-merimee-prosper-carmen-2022-9781847498977-52158016913747.jpg?v=1694539413","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/carmen-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
