Carmen Book (Prosper Mérimée)

When Don José, a soldier stationed in Seville, becomes captivated by the free-spirited Gypsy Carmen, he is drawn into a dangerous world of passion, crime and obsession. After helping her escape arrest, he sacrifices his career and reputation, only to find himself increasingly consumed by jealousy and desire. As Carmen refuses to be possessed or controlled, their turbulent relationship spirals towards a tragic conclusion.
