Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
Carmen, die nicht weit von mir hockte, ließ von Zeit zu Zeit ihre Kastagnetten knattern und trällerte halblaut vor sich hin. Dann rückte sie dicht an mich heran, wie wenn sie mir etwas ins Ohr flüstern wollte, und küsste mich zwei- oder dreimal. Ich ließ es unwillig geschehen. "Du bist eine Teufelin!", sagte ich zu ihr. "Bin ich", erwiderte sie mir.

Classic
The original text was french but the tale is in Spain.
There are a lot of words without translation but sometimes the same character explain the meaning. In pos 297 "I call myself Don, because I have a right to it, and if I were at Elizondo I could show you my parchment genealogy"
Some other words without translation in this edition you have an explication like the word "Veintiquatro" the editor said that it refer to a Magistrate in charge of the municipal police arrangements, and local government regulations.
I find this edition could help to understand some gipsy and spanish old costumes.
I recommend this book and this edition when you want to read classics books.
Fun reading
I got interested in reading Carmen from playing a slot game of the same name. I have now read Karanina for the same reason. One doesn't always know what will inspire a search for a great story. Kindle has provided the inspiration.
Carmen as a classic
Carmen is my favorite opera, but Prospere Mérimée novella really came as a surprise for me, because the story is told by Don José, a soldier who fell in love with the sensual and wild Carmen. Everybody knows how the two met and that their relationship had many ups and downs until the tragic end; but the story is page-turning and even more fascinating than the opera.
In the last chapter, there is some information about the gypsies, because the French author studied about this nomad population; therefore he shares his knowledge with his readers: gypsy costumes, Romani terms are explained (throughout the novella), their believes, marriage, witchcraft etc.
Wish these books in this series were not out of print! Hard to find! Carmen was my favorite of the series.
Read this and all john bemtons books as a teen, this one was my favorite. The women of the walter hoving home, former prostitutes who were given new life in Christ :)
Book helps to enjoy Opera ,'Carmen'.
I enjoyed the book , but wanted to know the story so I could enjoy the opera. And it was perfect for that. It gave a much better feeling and understanding for the opera.
