Paperback. Condition: Good. Carmen--the inspiration for one of the world's most popular operas--is a story about the dark forces that lurk beneath the façade of civilization, where passions are brutal and erotic love is seductive and sinister. When Don José meets a gypsy woman, he has no idea that his chance encounter with the "pretty witch" will have disastrous consequences.
