Demi-veau havane dos lisse orné de filets et de fleurons dorés pièce de titre tranches marbrées reliure moderne à l'imitation. Édition originale publiée sans nom d'auteur. Préface de l'auteur signée sous le pseudonyme de Joseph Lestrange. . Sous le nom d'emprunt de Joseph Lestrange Mérimée s'annonce comme traducteur des pièces de théâtre d'une certaine Clara Gazul comédienne de son état. Cette petite supercherie littéraire eut un effet retentissant et ouvrit à l'auteur le chemin du succès. Lorsqu'il fait paraître ce recueil composé de six pièces le futur créateur de Carmen ne connaît l'Espagne qu'au travers de ses lectures et de son imagination. Le 27 juin 1830 Mérimée entreprendra pour la première fois un voyage en Espagne dont l'on connait grâce à sa correspondance le périple précis Bordeaux Bayonne Irun Astigarraga Vitoria Burgos. Cordoue Séville Cadix Algésiras Grenade. C'est sur son trajet de retour qu'il fera la connaissance d'un personnage important pour la suite de son oeuvre don Cipriano Gusman Palafox y Portocarrero futur comte de Montijo. Il est invité à séjourner dans cette famille espagnole dont la plus jeune fille Eugénie deviendra l'épouse de Napoléon III. Pour ses futurs romans qui auront pour décor la péninsule ibérique Mérimée fera plusieurs fois appel à la comtesse de Montijo dont les connaissances littéraires et historiques lui seront précieuses. Vingt après Clara Gazul Mérimée composera son chef-d'oeuvre Carmen. Exemplaire sans le portrait-frontispice de Mérimée dont seule une cinquantaine fut tiré et broché avec les 50 premiers exemplaires.

"Carmen is a novella by Prosper Mérimée written & 1st published in 1845. It has been adapted into a number of dramatic works including the famous opera by Georges Bizet. According to a letter Mérimée wrote to the Countess of Montijo Carmen was inspired by a story she told him on his visit to Spain in 1830. He said "It was about that ruffian from Málaga who had killed his mistress who consecrated herself exclusively to the public.As I have been studying the Gypsies for some time I have made my heroine a Gypsy." An important source for the material on the Romani people Gypsies was George Borrow's book The Zincali 1841. Another source may have been the narrative poem The Gypsies 1824 by Alexander Pushkin which Mérimée would later translate into French prose Briggs 2008. The novella comprises four parts. Only the 1st three appeared in the original publication in the 10/1/1845 issue of the Revue des Deux Mondes Robinson 1992; the 4th 1st appeared in the book publication in 1846. Mérimée tells the story as if it had really happened to him on his trip to Spain in 1830." Goodreads 3.53. E. P. Dutton & Co. Inc hardcover
