A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This collection puts together the different volumes of letters by author Prosper Mérimée. Mérimée was a French dramatist, historian, archaeologist, and short story writer. He is perhaps best known for his novel Carmen, which became the basis of Bizet's opera Carmen.  This book includes all his collection of letters from Mérimée to Jenny Dacquin, published after his death, that cover all kind of interesting subjects, and provides an important glimpse to a different time, when so many things were being defined in the world.

Biographie de l'auteur

Prosper Mérimée (28 September 1803 – 23 September 1870) was a French dramatist, historian, archaeologist, and short story writer. He is perhaps best known for his novella Carmen, which became the basis of Bizet's opera Carmen. Mérimée loved mysticism, history, the unusual, and mystification (in the latter he was influenced by Charles Nodier), the historical fiction popularised by Sir Walter Scott and the cruelty and psychological drama of Aleksandr Pushkin. Many of his stories are mysteries set in foreign places, Spain and Russia being popular sources of inspiration.
