For love of her he deserts, smuggles, and kills; and still she will not be held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProsper Mérimée told it in 1845 with the cold precision of a man reporting a crime, and thirty years later Georges Bizet made of it the most beloved opera in the world. But the tale itself is harder and darker than any stage: a study of the ruin one free heart can work upon a possessive one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Lightbound Library edition sets the complete novella in Lady Mary Loyd's translation, with the Greek epigraph Mérimée chose for it, bound behind an original painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProsper Mérimée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslated by Lady Mary Loyd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolocosmo Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lightbound Library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback and hardcover, 6 × 9, 82 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Solocosmo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50144581255416,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/2433\/5352\/files\/carmen-front.jpg?v=1786502339","url":"https:\/\/solocosmo.org\/products\/carmen","provider":"solocosmo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
