Summary "Carmen: Espanjalaisen mustalaistytön elämäntarina" by Prosper Mérimée is a novella written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Carmen, a passionate and fiery Romani woman, and her tumultuous relationship with José Navarro, a Basque corporal, set against the backdrop of romanticized Southern Spain. This tale explores themes of love, jealousy, and the clash between societal norms and individual desires. The opening of the novella introduces the narrator, who recounts his journey through Andalusia in 1830 while investigating historical sites related to Julius Caesar's military campaigns. During his travels, he encounters Don José Navarro, a mysterious and brooding figure. As they connect over a shared meal, the narrator learns of José's complicated past, revealing him to be a notorious bandit who is both intriguing and frightening. The narrator’s growing fascination with the region and its people sets the stage for the unfolding drama surrounding Carmen, suggesting a deeper narrative that intertwines personal relationships with historical context.
