In a convent school in Havana, two adolescent girls fall in love with their priest, with fatal consequences. In Spain, a nobleman marries a village girl and an ideal of social equality collides with life's brutal realities. And in Lima, a beautiful and clever actress bamboozles her lover, the governor of Peru.\u003cbr\u003e Prosper Mérimée, best remembered for his creation of \u003ci\u003eCarmen\u003c\/i\u003e, wrote these plays - three of them powerfully tragic and the other a delicious comedy - in his late twenties, at the height of his creative powers. They are brought together in this volume in superbly stageworthy translations, preceded by a thorough introduction to Mérimée's unjustly neglected body of dramatic works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamara Alvarez-Detrell,Oscar Mandel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820463086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820463087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Tamara Alvarez-Detrell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48658940068095,"sku":"9780820463087","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prosper-mzsrimzse-tamara-alvarez-detrell-9780820463087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
