{"product_id":"2940157273743","title":"Carmen","description":"Carmen is the most famous novella of French author Prosper Merimee - it formed the basis of the composer Bizet's acclaimed opera of the same name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe titular Carmen is a Romani woman of astounding beauty, attracting many would-be suitors and romantic partners with both her physical charms and intense knowledge of fortune telling. The fast-paced and high-blooded drama combines lustful romance with tragedy, whereby jealousy and anger combine to form three episodes fitfully cascading with tension. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final part of the book is a non-fictional account of the Romani people, with whom Merimee held a fascination. It was through study of the customs and practices of the Romani that he wrote this book, which itself became a scholarly source as well as the inspiration for Bizet's world famous operatic composition.","brand":"Pantianos Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112483766512,"sku":"2940157273743","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157273743_p0.jpg?v=1764093561","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157273743","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
