Story
Merimee's most famous work is the novella Carmen, a story about jealousy and unfaithfulness. It inspired George Bizet's world-famous Opera-Comique. Some 50 movie adaptations have been made from the story, several of which are filmings of the opera.
Merimee was one of the greatest names of the romantic movement in France. Passionate, destructive love was his subject in many short stories.

Story
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.

Après la chute de l'Empire, Orso Della Rebbia, officier et gentilhomme corse, rentre au pays. Son père a été assassiné deux ans auparavant, mais Orso, influencé par les mœurs continentales, débarque sans intention agressive, tout occupé par l'intérêt qu'il porte à une jeune anglaise rencontrée sur le bateau. Mais la Corse - ses traditions, sa singularité et surtout sa coutume vengeresse, la "vendetta" - l'attend en la personne de sa jeune sœur Colomba.

Carmen - die Femme fatale, die verführerische Zigeunerin. Die gleichnamige Oper von Bizet gehört zu den meistgespielten Stücken der Operngeschichte. Grundlage für das weltberühmte Libretto war Mérimées 1847 erschienene Novelle. In ihr erzählt der Autor die Geschichte des Wächters Don José, der in einer Tabakmanufaktur in Sevilla auf die Zigeunerin Carmen trifft. Ihren Warnungen zum Trotz verliebt er sich in die schöne Vagabundin und ist ihr fortan verfallen.

À la fois récit d'aventures et roman anthropologique, "Colomba" nous conte dans un style dépouillé et direct, l'histoire d'une vendetta, dont le principal protagoniste est assurément l'île de Beauté, ses mœurs, ses pierres, ses paysages. Le lieu d'action est peu à peu transfiguré en continent des origines, en siège archétypal de la "pure nature" de l'homme.

Story
"Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement" est une des œuvres les moins connues de Mérimée. Ce n'est point là un drame tragique et sanglant rappelant "Carmen". Mais la note espagnole où excelle Mérimée y sera. Vraiment, vous entendrez là un chef-d'œuvre littéraire où l'adresse scénique égale la fantaisie. Le personnage principal - un Vice-Roi du Pérou - est dessiné avec une ponctualité et un relief étonnants. On retrouvera là, sous un aspect nouveau, l'éternel duel entre l'homme et la femme qui est celui d'Alceste et Célimène, Boubouroche et Adèle... (J. Copeau, Comoedia, 3-3-1920).

Story
Prosper Mérimée behandelt in seiner kleinen Komödie die Liebesaffäre der im 18. Jahrhundert so gefeierten Schauspielerin Camila Perichole mit dem Vize-König von Peru. Da die junge Künstlerin weiß, dass ihr Mäzen eine neue Staatskarosse besitzt, bittet sie ihn um die Gefälligkeit, ihr den Wagen zu überlassen. Der Vize-König hingegen, der argwöhnt, dass die Perichole ihn betrügt, verweigert ihr zunächst den Wunsch. Doch mit Charme und weiblichem Raffinement gelingt es der jungen Schauspielerin schließlich, die Wellen der Erregung zu glätten und alle Beteiligten für sich einzunehmen.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
