This short novel tells the tragic love between Jose a Spanish army officer from Navarra and Carmen a gypsy from Andaluc a, by this love Jose becomes a bandit; narrated by Jose himself to a French archaeologist is full of sparking dialogues, Spanish gypsy slang, yet translated to normal Spanish, and a few short but precise descriptions.
The novella that was the basis for perhaps the most popular opera of all time, Prosper M rim e's Carmen is the swashbuckling story of a nineteenth-century Spanish soldier who deserts his post to pursue the fiery gypsy beauty, Carmen--who is as brave as she is fickle. The opera's plot, it turns out, is based only on part of the larger adventure that is Carmen. The story opens, for example, with the narrator, a historian like M rim e, researching the lost site of an ancient Roman battle on the plains of Andalusia, when he meets a notorious bandit, Don Jos Navarro, on the run from the law. Feeling a certain sympathy for Don Jos , whose face is "at once noble and fierce," and a vicarious thrill at this brush with danger, he helps the bandit to escape. When they next meet again, Don Jos is in jail in Cordova, due to be hanged for his crimes. In his last days, he tells the narrator about a wild gypsy woman he met back in Seville . . . What follows is an iconic and highly entertaining tale of doomed passion full of chases, sword fights, bullfights, smuggling, wild dancing, and more--except no mezzo-sopranos.
This is the first complete English-language translation of La Guzla, ou Choix de po sies illyriques recueillies dans la Dalmatie, la Bosnie, la Croatie et l'Herz gowine, which presents a collection of folk literature from the former Illyrian Provinces. Or does it? It contains short pieces drawing from various genres-ersatz scholarly essays, ballad lyrics presented in the form of prose poems, folk tales, a fragment of a stage play-all generously peppered with footnotes explaining the historical and sociological context of these "discoveries."First published in 1827, La Guzla purported to be a collection of folktales, ballad lyrics, and travel narratives compiled and translated into French by an anonymous traveler returning from the Balkans. Before long, though, it was revealed that both the stories and their "translator" were the fictional creations of a young civil servant, Prosper M rim e, who would later become one of the most accomplished French writers of his generation. In these dramatic tales of love, war, and encounters with the supernatural, M rim e has given us both a treasure trove of "fakelore" and a satirical portrait of a self-appointed expert blissfully unaware of how little he understands the cultures he claims to represent.
