Carmen

Set in the rugged hills of southern Spain, Prosper Mérimée's classic novella "Carmen" tells a gripping tale of obsession and ruin sparked by a chance encounter between a wandering scholar and the notorious outlaw Don José. At the heart of the narrative lies Carmen, an enthralling woman fiercely devoted to her own freedom, whose untameable spirit draws José into a tumultuous cycle of jealousy and despair. Originally published in 1845, this darker and more intimate version of the story highlights the destructive power of desire against the backdrop of sunlit Andalusian landscapes. Narrated by Christopher Mireider, the audiobook delivers an emotionally intense experience, bringing Mérimée's timeless themes vividly to life.
