  • Carmen

    Series series Salon & Steppe
    A Basque soldier meets a Gypsy woman outside a cigarette factory in Seville, lets her go, and loses everything by degrees: rank, freedom, and the ability to imagine a life without her.

  • How The Redoubt Was Taken

    A friend of mine, a soldier, who died in Greece of fever some years since, described to me one day his first engagement. His story so impressed me that I wrote it down from memory.

  • Abbe Aubain and Mosaics

    Mérimée's temperament was really that of the scholar, not of the artist, and even his art came to him as a kind of scholarship. He did one thing after another, as if challenging himself to accomplish a certain end, and then, that end accomplished, he no longer cared to repeat it. That is the scholar's way, not the artist's; and the scholar's instinct is seen, too, in that too purely critical ... Read more
