The Prosper Mérimée Collection Book 1 (Colomba, Mateo Falcone, The Venus of Ille, The Vision of Charles XI, The Taking of the Redoubt): A New Translation - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Enter the darkly romantic world of Prosper Mérimée, master of the French short story
This essential collection brings together five of Mérimée's most celebrated tales, each a masterpiece of psychological tension and narrative economy.
In Colomba, journey to Corsica where honor, vengeance, and ancient blood feuds collide when a young lieutenant returns home to confront his father's unsolved murder. Mateo Falcone explores the brutal price of betrayal in a tale of family honor that will leave you breathless with its shocking conclusion.
The Venus of Ille weaves supernatural dread through the story of an ancient bronze statue whose terrible beauty may harbor a deadly curse. Experience royal gothic terror in The Vision of Charles XI, where a Swedish king's midnight encounter foretells a dynasty's doom. Finally, The Taking of the Redoubt plunges you into the chaos of Napoleonic warfare, where a young officer's baptism by fire becomes a meditation on courage, horror, and survival.
Mérimée's precise, unsentimental prose and gift for dramatic irony influenced generations of writers from Turgenev to Hemingway. These stories showcase his genius for combining local color with universal themes of passion, honor, superstition, and fate—each tale building to an unforgettable climax that reveals the darkness lurking beneath civilized facades.
A testament to the enduring power of the short story form and required reading for lovers of classic literature.
